Dan,
Different strokes... but I use those posts when I'm driving. It "locks"
the tonneau down and keeps it nice and taught while it is folded behind the
seat. I, too, enclose the cockpit when parking, for the same reasons as
you (yes, the sun does shine up here in Seattle!).
Replacing the studs should be easy. If memory serves me correctly, these
posts mount with two sheet metals screws each, so you don't have to access
the rear of the panel to tighten them. If you fold the tonneau down and
line up the "lift the dot" connectors, it should show you the approximate
position. Even better, the posts only cost a buck or two apiece.
Sorry for the preaching...
Regards,
Scott
