The other day I am getting ready to go on a family trip to a nearby lake. In an effort to get everything up to speed on our boat I was reminded of these two now famous clips were missing for our top. Now I have been trying to replace them before unsuccessfully about three times. Not that a dealer could not order it in but the fact that it would take 7-10 days and we would be gone by then usually deterred the ordering process. Needless to say my desire to have these clips was getting quite high and my frustration at the local dealer was quite high being that he could not for some reason order it. Personally I think it was a lack of effort on his part but everyone has a bad day so we will give him the benefit of the doubt. So for the third time in about two years I went back to the local dealer. Interestingly enough a new parts man was there, so was the old one but I confidently tried the new guy. I explained the issue, actually brought in one clip that I had left and what do you know but here is a whole bag of the clips! Must of been a hundred of them in my eyes, actually on about 10-12 but with my excitement and frustration over, I said give me 6 of them and that will satisfy my desire.
