They should last for the life of the car. I have re-used them when replacing the soft top. When you say snapped do you mean the cable its self or where the plastic end piece is riveted to the soft top frame. You do have the lower end attached to a spring, which is in turn attached to the soft top frame?... if not this could explain why it is snapping...ie too much tension?
