Default Just a small piece missing, how do I buy?

I have a '97 targa roof and one of the two black "tabs" came out of the support that is holding the top black piece of the permanent roof into the side interior black support. Doesn't seem like a big deal but the top piece doesn't sit flush when the door is open.

It's not a screw, what is it and any suggestions on where to buy it?

Pics would help, but if you are talking about the blowout clips, perhaps Marc at VetteNuts would have one.

i think he is talking about the nipples on the back of the top that slide into the holes on the halo of the vehicle.
