Passenger remote control cover

Post by joerod777 »

On my 2003 Voyager the velcro has worn out on the vinyl bag that covers the passenger's remote control. I would fasten the velcro only to find it seperate and leave the bag dangling below the remote. It was driving me crazy so I went to a fabric shop and purchased a snap kit and in about 10 minutes I put two metal/brass snaps on the remote cover. They went on without any problems and now the passenger's remote cover is secure and never comes off until you are ready to unsanp the snaps. The kit I bought cost about $20 and is a Dritz Heavy Duty Kit and comes with 4 sets of stainless steel/brass snaps. There is a refill package of black snaps that cost about $5. If I had known I would have use the black snaps.

One more thing, I removed the old velcro before I put the snaps on.
