Window strap

[Traver]

I can’t find the strap that attaches to the corner of the window. The snap pulled out of the hull. Where do I get a replacement? 2012 AR240

I got one on amazon.

Any chance you could find a link?

For some reason, there seems to be some kind of run on these; I purchased a replacement a few years ago for <$10. Now they're going for crazy high prices. Suggest making your own and saving some bucks.

Get a button kit, some strapping(small ratchet strap material), heat a larger screwdriver shank and melt holes in it, install button snaps, done. Plus you'll have a button kit for doing any repairs on covers, seats or anything else you can think of.

Thanks. I’ll try that. Do I have to do anything to the cut ends of the strap material to prevent fraying? Do you know what size screw in snap goes in the hull?

You could singe/seal it off with a quick hit from a lighter? Boat Canvas Snaps 3/8" Inch Diameter, 8 x 1/2" Stainless Steel Screw (20pc), by Bolt Dropper.: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific

A lighter like @mark_m said. It will just melt it together & keep it from fraying
