Heavy Duty Tonneau Zippers

Does anyone have a source for heavy duty zippers? One of the side zippers
on my tonneau has failed and I want to replace it (and the other side) with
heavy duty ones like is used in the center. Not having any luck on the
internet.
Thanks in advance,

Tried all those - they now use "plastic", not brass.

Gene - apart from trying the makers of new tonneaux, try your Yellow Pages
for a Sailmaker (don't know if you have any in your neck of the woods!). I
recently had the centre zip on my 30-year old cover replaced by a sailmaker
here in Plymouth, Devon. Nice chunky black plastic - not for the purists,
but should see me out!

Any good upholstery shop should have them - I had my plastic one replaced
(and installed) for $8!
