Rubber hood straps

I m putting a new roof cover on my cabriolet and I found a rubber strap broken , looked on the web cannot find anything, can anyone tell me where I can get them from.
it fits on the first cross bar to the front of the frame to pull the crossbar up
thanks

Sorry can help with where to get one but this site gives you the part number and size, you may be able to make something to fit?

I guess it's part no1 you need, 155 871 955 ?

Use the ones that hold your Jack parts in place, Or hold your balls to the bonnet just make the nylon web strap a tad longer.

Chortle may have a local source…


Yes it is needed, it assists in pulling the rear window frame up taking the strain and not the canvas or the Vinyl.

Thanks Mark1gls and Briano1234, I managed to find some rubber pallet band on eBay 15mm wide by 480mm long looks like these may do the job when cut down to size.
