Afternoon all,

What are those things called?
They are like clips/buttons for attaching a hood(or any fabric) to the body?
You can see them in this picture:
Holding the rear shelf on, the round silver things.

I've always called them snap/pop rivets.

I don't know if thats correct or not, but I tend to feel that way most of the time.

Press-studs for me.

press studs fo me as well, and i bought mine in my local hobby craft, and did my tonneau and boot cover

I did my boot cover with them, but after a time , they stiffen up than pull through your material.
I plan on doing the cover again, but this time using those old fashioned twist toggle thingys.

The right thing is called "lift the dot" fasteners, as found on old MG's et al

Yup x2 lift the dot.

Durable dots are the snap type ones, lift the dots are the peg type ones.

And I thought they were called Tenax fasteners...
