Cost was about $3.00 and the package has 4 or 6 ties in it. Fixed both seat nets and have spares.
Vintage thread revival!

Am happy to report Lowes still carries these "Light Duty Canopy Ties" Item #: 107734 | Model #: JB3V430. After years of being frustrated that Joann's only sold stretch cord in bulk (according to online searching) I decided to try the bungee cord aisle at the big box store. No idea why my many previous searches never turned up this thread. Oh well, finally fixed...
