Group buy! (was: Hatch cover holders)

[pbureau@attbi.com (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

I know that in Canada, the one in montreal was able to get some throught the
Toronto Wearhouse,
But in Dallas, they can't find any in the south US area (TX, OK, LA) Areas.

=>I think we should have a few thousand made and preserve them in cryostasis
=>for all current and future Scirocco owners to use (read Jeff needs
=>straight-jacket).
=>
=>would someone mind throwing out the NAME of one of these dealers that
=>supposedly stocks them?  ;)  And, I wonder (hear the gears
=>grinding?),  why
=>the Potterman hasn't thought of this already - I know the general
=>mantra of
=>this list is not to get over on other Scirocco owners, but someone could
=>make a good chunk of change duplicating (or even improving) the
=>OEM straps.
=>
=>Any of our resident chemical engineers care to offer up a synopsis of what
=>it would take to make them (hopefully more durable than OEM!  :p
=>)   Larry?
=>
=>My $0.01 worth (feeling cheap today), JT
