Title: Cover Clips
Post by: BK on February 23, 2008, 11:03:05 am

Hi

Well it finally happened. The clips which are permanently attached to my cover straps have broken. I am at a loss as to how to repair the situation. I can't be the first guy to have this happen. What should I do?

BK, this came up a few months ago. Here's the link on how to fix it -

Hello,

I'm new around here, but I found these directions that might make it easier to visualize what Chad describes:

Welcome to forum Run. Thanks for the link.

The only problems I have with their directions, is that they tell you to cut straight in to the back end of the clip instead of at an angle and that the cut is too wide.

Plus, I like Term's drawing better  :D

How have you been enjoying your Niagara thus far?

Thank you! Done already. I had the clips but thought that cutting them would rob them of strength. Not the case apparently. Thank you again.

Thanks for the welcome...........

Been enjoying the Niagara for about 24 days now.  Haven't missed one night yet :o

Hopefully the link above works.  It will take you to some pictures of our setup.  Once the weather warms, we'll paint the addition to match the rest of the deck.

This spa has been great after long workouts.  After 3 weeks of hydrotherapy, my back is finally feeling "right."    We keep the temp at 102 so the kids enjoy it as well, but we've really enjoyed some 104F nights alone too.
