Default Where to buy Snaps???

Hey guys, I have the tonneau cover with the button snaps. I had something in the bed and i had to unsnap some of the buttons on the drivers side. Long story short, some of the buttons broke off of the rails of the tonneau. I was wondering if and where I could get some of the replacement snaps. I only need the side that is on the rail. I have seen replacement plastic ones, but cannot find any online, or anywhere for that matter.

Thanks for the help,
BLSHOG10

The male or female side of the Snaps??
Sounds like your saying the male-side.
(the part that slides back & forth on the rail}.
If so, your on the way to the bone-yard to find
a truck that might have the rails still on it with the snaps.
That's what I had to do to replace four of
them that had slid right off the back of the rail
while driving with the cover rolled up.

yea im talking about the male side. the bad thing is that every junk yard around my area has no good parts on kotas and i doubt any have covers or parts of them left. i got the idea of going to a boat shop they do alot of work with soft tonneau covers. ima go in about 20 min hopefully they are open.

It's not just Dakotas that will have them,..
It's the brand of cover. Chevys, Fords, whatever brand
that has a Tonneau cover of the same brand you could get them from.
There's gotta be a yard around that would have one.
As far as buying them,.. Try contacting the Tonneau co. for replacements.
Good luck.
