73Corvette, thanks for clearing that up.

SG Lou, you mean put a little silicone adhesive on the prongs for insurance?

Jack, they don't pop back in when they are upside down. The snaps are different....they have tobe flipped.

Cheaper than driving about 35 miles round trip to a Chevy dealer for me.

I paid about $5 for a bag of four at my local dealer. I think I got the better deal, even counting the drive, and I have spares for the next time one breaks.

No. I had 2 prongs brake so I put a dab of clear silicone in the center of the cover and held it in place with masking tape until it dried. The idea of using Velco to secure it is much better. Silicone is a one shot deal, Velcro can be used over and over and over and....well you get the idea !
