Top Boot Cover Strap Upgrade.

Today while tooling down the Interstate @ 80mph, I had the straps that hold the inner boot cover come loose.
I had cleaned all the fuzz off the velcro, and pluffed the carpet on the bottom of the parcel shelf.

So I decided to upgrade the straps a wee bit.

Today, while I was driving topless down the interstate @ 80mph…. The Straps that hold the boot cover on to the parcel shelf cam loose.
I had cleaned the Fuzz off the velcro, and fluffed the carpet up, and it still didn't hold…

So I added a snap to the strap.

Using a Leather Punch I punched a hole in the material.




About a inch from the Seam of the fold over I punched the strap with a Leather punch.
I used a snap kit which has a roll punch snap parts, and an anvil.

Place the anvil cup side up, there are 2 sides one for the button, and one for a snap.





Place the material onto the punched hole.


Place the receiver over the stud


Take the roll punch and place the protrusion in to the center of the stud.
Hold the Slider part and smack about 4 times with a hammer to roll the edge over, and seat it firmly.




Place it on the car and mark the parcel shelf so you can then screw the male part to the parcel shelf.




Easier than sewing and gluing / stapling new VELCRO.






ps, it stayed fastened @ 80-90mph on my test run ….
