Default T Bar Interior Panel

Guys:
Any recommendations for repairing this interior panel? The vinyl side is in decent shape. It obviously got wet some time in the past and is kinda flimsy.. Two of the three pins are missing / gone completely. Can I fiberglass in two new pins? It looks like the pins were attached to a small plate then the plate was riveted to the panel. Do you know if there's a thin metal sheet under the foam? Thanks.

Check with Al Knoch Interiors and talk with Melanie.
They might manufacture the part you need.

Please replace that with a new one and put that one out of it's misery. How is the T bar metal looking? I would be very worried about it's condition. Lou.
