Hi Fred,

These are fasteners designed for the marine market and are meant to work 
with canvas.  Roger Jolly did a great job finding these.  We have samples 
here at the factory and are testing them.  I am optimistic.

I searched for magnets back in 2008, but couldn't find ones that were strong 
enough to hold when the undercover was put under tension.

All the best,

Roger
