Cover rope connectors? Need something better :-)

[biacs]

Hi all,
I have these goofy clips and I have on the original cover. I’m going to replace the string with para cord so it won’t stick to my (newer) Velcro.

I can’t seem to come up with a modern version also that wouldn’t ding the boat like these metal clips.

Just some kind of adjustable clip that I can pull tension into when I put the cover together. Assuming I use rope / paracord.

I had a cover once with one of these.....

If you need something custom you can try their site directly with different options based on the hood you want and diameter of the rope.

Add rope and tie off with a easy to untie knot?

Those rope ratchets mentioned above are great. They make a sleeve to then Velcro around the ratchet so it doesn’t ding the fiberglass. Used them for years with no damage
