Default Side trim panel question

The side panel that attaches to the driver side of my 89 convertible is loose. This is the panel that you would remove if you wanted to take the battery out. The problem is the small metal clips that the screws go through and allow you to tighten the panel into place are worn out.
my question is where can I find some of those clips. I am not even sure what they are called so looking them up is difficult, believe me i’ve tried.
any suggestions would be Mose appreciated
thanks

Oreillys has some replacement fender type clips. Take an old one and try to match 1 up.
