Those "clingons" look particularly useful little things to carry in any case. I've never seen those before. Are there any shops stocking them?

We got our direct from the company and was very impressed with them. A lady called Jacqui emailed advising that we would be better with the large clingons as we also ordered the bungees. We took her advice and ordered the large clingons and the bungees. She also sent us a small clingon for us to see. Delivery was within 2 days of ordering. Fantastic customer relations, i was really impressed. As i said we are yet to use them but they look useful for lots of things.

we also use suckers.  Tie a piece of cotton thread around the press studs on cover leaving a loop and then just hook then on the suckers! Never failed yet.

Just got back from a Wilko free zone but could easily have used some on the awning skirt.

Did Wilko have them in at a sensible price?

Easifix.com have a whole range of suckers. I use the ones with the pilot hole, then, using an M3.5 screw, attached the bit that the stud presses on to.

Looks the biz

Hi, we're back from france and the Clingons worked fine but we had to buy some new suckers as ours didn't stay one. We bought heavier duty ones that have a lever to 'stick' them down. No problems with them.
