Removable hardtop guide

I'm looking for what GM calls a removable top guide. GM # 10137774. These guide attach to the rear of the removable hardtop for convertibles.
They help locate the rear of the top into the holes. Removed my top last night and noticed mine were missing. Anyone happen to have a couple know where to find some or be willing to loan me one to make a couple from? I think all C4's used the same ones. Thanks guys

Are those the same as on the soft top? I seem to remember reading that they were interchangeable between tops?

I don't think so. The ones I'mm looking for also have a bolt that runs inside the hollow shaft.

Wait, now that I think about it, the alignment pins are for the bolts to route through to the welded nuts on the bottom of the latch. Soft top pins would not work in that case.
