It's on my 1990 Bayliner Capri Top and missing the female portion of it, where can I find them?
Thanks, Ed

It is called a "Lift-the-Dot" fastener. I don't want to sound like a jerk, but it should be printed directly on top. They are made by the TRW company. You can find them at any local upholstery shop and on-line.

How many do you need? Send me a PM with your mailing address and I will mail a few to you, no charge. (I'm an upholsterer).

And they make those Males with threaded ends so you can through bolt them ( I recommend you install as many through bolt lift-a-dots as you can ).

Oh..and one trick with those puppies when trying to snap them on is to put a little "spit" on the males .. this works with all snaps actually :) .

YD.
