Greg,
I just replaced all of mine, with a kit from Ace Hardware. Total cost,
about $12.00, for the bases on the car, and even new snaps on the top.
Came with a tool to put the new snaps on the top. I used my pop rivet
gun to put the new bases on the car. I also had some of the old ones
that screwed on, and some riveted on. For those with a larger hole, I
simply used a larger pop rivet. ALL are on very tight.
