The reinforced edge of the cockpit cover, where the snaps go, extends below the windshield so all the snaps go into the fiberglass. So the Taylor Made snaps wont work.

How many snaps? How close together? Every 6 inches, every 9 inches, or about every 12 inches?

If you are planning on towing it with the cover in place, you can't hardly get them too close. Just measured mine and they are 8" apart.

That's about what I was thinking. Thank you.

I am not sure if I will tow it with the cover on or not.
