Default Broken velcro

Hey guys -

When the top is closed, there is a little velcro loop just behind the windows that holds a piece of the fabric of the top to the frame. On one side, the velcro snapped and the piece of fabric is hanging loose. Does anybody know where I can get this part? Looks like a black loop with a snap. Thanks!

I had that same issue, I just sewed a regular Velcro onto it.

X3 - like fishing nets, convertible tops need occasional maintenence with needle & thread.

After repair, I reinforced the loop with black cotton hockey stick tape.
