New to the forum. Just redid the bolsters on my old Mastercraft ski boat. Several of these nylon clips broke during removal. Can someone tell me what these are called?
Thank you.

Looks like the remains of a christmas tree clip.

Honestly, if you have the room I prefer the BeauClip.

Thanks! Funny thing is I went to West Marine earlier today and showed the guy the part and I said I think it's called a Christmas Tree Rivet, and he looked at me like I had 2 heads. Of course they did not have it.

Unfortunatley I don't think I have the room for the BeauClip, but I am going to try it out.

Depending on the thickness of the backing(plywood?) you may be able to use a long chrismas tree and keep the female part. I use a few of them but the drawback is they wear out if removed several times.
