Soft top snaps

Do these snaps go bad after awhile? I have a couple that just don't seem to want to hold anymore. Should they be raplaced? Can they be repaired/modified? Is it just something I have to live with?

Thanks a pile.

Yes, they can go bad over time, simple to replace and they can be sourced from such places as Moss Motors or The Roadster Factory.

What is the proper technique/tools to remove the snaps from the top?

Clinch and studs:

They can also be sourced from SNG Barratt. I use a small hammer or needle nose pliers. No special tool to my knowledge however there is a tool for everything and one must exist.

They are easily replaced and low cost item. Good luck!
