Default help with locking roof in trunk

2001
I have torn up one of the "cups" (not sure what they are called) that rest in the back floor that helps lock the targa roof in place. The black plastic has ripped off the part that is bolted to the car.
1. How can I fix or replace the part?

2. What is the part called?

I tried to do a search, but could not find what I was looking for on the site.

Thanks,
Davy

Davy, I'm not sure what it's called either but contact Marc from Vettenuts. He's a member here who has a Vette recycling yard. I'm sure he can hook you up with another one for a great price !

Just looked, the Owners manual refers to them " two egg-shaped stowage
receivers "
