Quote from: "WINGNUTZ"Could you show me the 10-32 inserts and how they work?
look at Smallparts.com internal nutserts are installed somewhat like a pop rivet, a special tool is needed . think of it  as a thin barrel with interior threads. I installed all my fenders with them (37 Chevy)  I glassed the rest of the barrel on the backside in my case. havent moved/vibrated in 10 yrs.

Look at AVK Industrial Products site. I use the A-L Series. The installation tool looks sorta like a pop rivet tool, each thread size has a mandrel the threads in the tool and then insert threads on the mandrel. Each insert has a specific hole size. Place the insert in the hole and squeeze.

The insert is flush with the body. The tonneau snap assy has a 10-32 screw integral to the bottom and a phillips head inside the snap. The bottom of the snap  screws down flush on the nutsert. Other snap assy's are available with a sheet metal screw or the can be pop riveted - there may be even more types. I didn't know the 10-32 screw type were even out there until I consulted with the canvas guy.

So technically these aren't snaps but screws that have to be screwed and unscrewed each time to install and remove the toneau cover???

the way i read it the male part of the snap has screw threads that are used to install them.

The part that attaches to the car - whether screwed or riveted - is the male portion of a snap assembly. The female portion is installed in the tonneau cover. One then snaps and unsnap the cover as desired.
