The canopy fastens with flat snap fasteners around the top edge of my windscreen, unfortunately the screws holding the male side on to the aluminium frame have elongated the holes. I have tried to get new screws large enough to take up the slack, however the heads are too big to fit inside the "cup" and the male/female won't snap shut. Has any one seen/used these: http://www.chandleryworld.co.uk/acatalog/info_266CPY000016.html And would they fit a Taylormade screen?? I'd prefer not to bore new holes around my window frame or put additional holes in my canvas...Any advice appreciated.
