Abstract: A device for securing a piece of fabric (1), such as a boat cover, to a support surface (2) comprises a mounting element (16, 17) arranged on the support surface, and a two-part element (4, 11) fixedly attached to the fabric and arranged to co-act with the mounting element. The element (4, 11) comprises a front and a back part arranged to clamp the fabric therebetween. To facilitate the dismantling of the element (4, 11) its parts are held together by a snap action. One of the parts comprises a base plate (4) having at least two resilient walls (5, 6) which project outwardly perpendicular to the plane of the plate and which pass through an opening in the fabric and then snap into an opening in the part located on the other side of the fabric.
