Tenax fastener question
 

Hey Pelicans,
Can anyone answer a question regarding tonneau or cab boot "tenax" fasteners?
How can I tell if I have the "German" tenax fasteners or the "English" tenax fasteners?:confused:
I know there is a size difference; so can anyone point me in the right direction in making a determiniation on what is currently on my car, (male fastener portion) so I will know the correct (German v English) female receiver to order from the distributor.
I very well realize that I am setting myself up for all kinds of double entendre responses. So go ahead, let em fly...Just someone please answer the question!
:rolleyes:

The male portion looks pretty different. On the German one the ball looks pretty round while on the English version it's a bit more egg-shaped. There are dimensional differences as well. Look here:

Thanks John...That helps a great deal!

I just bought two replacement Tenax fasteners and the "wrench" using the link provided above. I'd had two fasteners fail--unfortunately on the same side of the boot cover--and wanted to replace them. The fasteners described as for "Audi" are a great fit and work well with the Tenax studs installed on my car. The Audi fasteners are a black anodized, flat top, and a little cheaper.

Thanks for posting the link to the supplier.
