Now what?
Think. Be creative. Lowes has a web site and an order desk. If that doesn't work, contact the manufacturer and ask them where you can find it.

If worse comes to worst, open your wallet and pay the Corvette tax. Either that, or just skip the whole thing and use compressed air or a microfiber towel to quickly wick up any loose droplets after the wash.

Think. Be creative. Lowes has a web site and an order desk. If that doesn't work, contact the manufacturer and ask them where you can find it.
If I had done that in the first place I would have ordered them with my key hole cover from Southern instead of wasting a gallon of gas and two hours of my morning.
$4 net cost isn't much of a corvette tax.
Also JMHO only but Lowes is about as worthless as boobies on a bull.
I have never, and I mean never, gone in there and come out with what I was looking for. Last time I went there the lady couldn't even cut a shade right for my daughters room. We left the shade and the store and went to H.D and they did it right the first time.
I gave them another chance today but this time both of the bigger chains didn't have it.
Guess I'll try the web site before going to a sponsoring vendor.
The idea is a great one so whoever posted, thanks for the info.

Can I give you a suggestion?...If you know what you are looking for, like your statement above says... then call them to see if they have it in stock before you make a trip and waste your gas and your time
Then I could possibly be wasting my cell phone minutes too


I only went there because of this post and others saying they carried it. The Abingdon, MD store doesn't even stock that brand anymore, nor does our H.D. for that matter.
I'll try the link on my 'puter, that way I'll save the gas and my cell minutes.
