Where Can I Find Cabriolet Top Cover Snaps?

[86 911]

I have a 911 cabriolet and need to buy a couple of the cabriolet top cover snaps (see photo). Where can I get them? Also, how are these installed? One of mine came off and it seems like it was crimped on to the fabric. Thanks!

You should be able to find a kit including the crimping tool at West Marine or another marine supply store. Boaters have to replace these all the time. I bought a kit to do the same thing on my trunk carpet. Haven't confirmed yet but it does appear to be the same size, or you can replace both sides.

I get the "Black Tenax Caps" from Autos International at Autos International Inc. - Award Winning Interiors and Tops for Porsches They run $9 per and screw on...once you receive the new ones it is instantly obvious how to install them. I buy a half-dozen every few years as they seem to unscrew over time and sometimes I miss tightening them.

Thank you for the link to the fasteners. I will go ahead and order some spares. I ended up calling around and found a shop (Roman's Upholstery) in Thousand Oaks that had some. The guy ended up putting them on and charged me a few dollars but this is definitley a quick DIY now that I see how they are installed.

Grand, thanks for the offer but mine is in great shape and just needed the fasteners.
