Heavy Duty Tonneau Zippers

Post by Gene Gillam » Tue Aug 14, 2001 5:56 pm

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, Gene Gillam Saucier, MS 1949 TC 7872

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! ocTagonally

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