Stayput - What's the Secret?

[Intentional Drifter]

OK, I have several of these types of fasteners for my bimini enclosure. They work quite well, but the loops are starting to fray and I need to replace them. I know they come apart in order to replace the loops, but I can't figure out how to do it. Can anybody share the secret?

Thanks.

I'll bet they press together and wasn't meant to come apart, but what is that hole in the middle? Will a pin create any flexing?

[Intentional Drifter]

You're right, they do press together. However, I've also seen that they come apart. Unfortunately, I didn't see how and the person that did it is now a continent away and I have no way to get in touch. So, I'm hoping someone on CF knows the trick!

see if they are in the sailrite catalogue, and if so, they have great support, and would help.

Is it possible that the top part snaps onto the bottom?

Look for a very fine line around the circumference.

They do come apart push a nail or something small enough that wont break into the hole on the front and with a small tap the top and bottom will seperate it may take a bit of force but they will seperate

I would try putting one on an ice block and heating the other side with a blow torch. The question is which side up?
