snap in carpet

One of the Snaps on by snap-in carpet came apart over the weekend. The rug is not ripped or damaged in any way, the snap just came apart.

Does anybody know where I can get a replacement snap kit?

Boats US has them. The tool for snapping is a cheap POS, but after you bend it, take it back and they will give you another one.

Lowes has the kit. I think about 6 snaps and the tool to go with it. I'm sure Home Depot has them to.

Got a snap replacement kid from Home Depot for $4. Came with ten complete snaps and device that looks like a bunch set. Just strike it with a hammer and done. It took me longer to remove the cover on the boat than it took to replace snap.

Thanks for the help.
