Trying to remove my coaming pads to fix the vinyl. Thought they were of the button style since that's what is on the lower pads. Tried to pop one off and its not a button. And bent it nicely in the process.
with the vinyl "button" removed there is a square piece left with a round piece in the middle. This can't be what is actually holding the pad to the boat because the pad is on the much more firmly than I would expect these thin things to hold. There are screws sticking through the backside but they don't seem to line up perfectly with these clips. Its as if the clip holds the vinyl but the backing board is fastened to the boat with screws. There are no screws or bolts that fasten into the backing board from the backside. Anybody seen these before? And know where to find a replacement since I already wrecked one!
Thanks!
