For new ones, you slip them on the rods and crimp them with pliers. There's little metal clips in there. I just bought new ones.

Sorry, it was a while ago, I forgot. I'm sure I just ordered them out of one of the catalogs, zip or mad or something.

These are real tight and I didn't know if I could get them off without tearing them or destroying them. I do not know of Midwest. Do you have a phone number? Where are they located at?
