I lost a bunch of them. The little plastic caps that go over the screws used to hold some of the panels in, so you dont snag your clothing on them.

Where can I find them? Whats the exact term for them so I can search around?

Check out your local fasteners store. The problem with screw covers is they are mostly custom made so it will be hard to find the exact ones you need. Sometimes in the hardware section of the big building stores they have a few types in the specialty racks.

They are called screw caps or snap caps and I get them from a place that is on the web and they come in 64 colors or electroplated chrome, gold or whatever you need in size. Search for snap cap or screw cover on your search engine and you will find what you need. Also try here at I Boats.

I get them at my local hardware store. They are in the little pull out trays with the pictures on the front of them in with all the nuts and bolts...usually on the top shelf. You can get the type the just snap into the cross, or you can get the type that you screw through, and then flip the lid over on top of the base.

Lowes hardware (specialty fasterners) and especially fastenall are both good sources. fasten all also has t-bolts (stainless) in party packs for much cheaper than other places I've found them... if you happen to be looking
