Hi all, I'm trying to find a source for some of those barbed plastic pieces (aka, Christmas trees) for installing cushions into my boat. Does anyone have a source for them? I would like to find some that are close in size to what I pulled out of my cushions, but every place I've found sells them in lots of 500 or 1000. I only need a couple dozen...

Anyone have a source with a good selection?

Thanks,
Jim

I always find them in different shapes and sizes in auto store like AutoZone & O Reilly.

Learned something new. I call them the #^%@^ things that hold plastic parts in cars together and always break when you need to get to what's behind the panel like fender liners or cover-up panels.

From now on I'll be proper and call them #^%@^ Christmas trees, just like I do when the Admiral says it's that time of the year again. LOL

Sorry for the hijack, JAS.

Check with your local bodyshop, they should have a large variety and will probably sell them to you in whatever quantities you want.
