So over the winter apparently 3 out of the 4 of my boat cover clips broke like this one. And for whatever reason these are not the clips that have the teeth on the back end where you weave the strap over and under so it self tightens. Has anybody had to replace theirs because of this and did you have to re-stitch them on or did you get another kind of male clip?

So in case anybody else experiences this in the future, I found a suitable substitute male and female adjustable slide clip. Only problem is with this cover the tightening strap is short so there is not a lot of slack coming out the adjustable end; I applied electrical tape to keep the slack from fraying in the wind while trailering. Should do the job. Link to the replacement clip from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DCZRLZW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
