Default Replace plastic clip

Anyone know where to buy those little black tab/clip found under the hood. It is used to hold those fancy engine covers. I broke a few and need some replacement.

Thx

If you go to Lowes or Homedepot, you can find plastic clips under Automotive fasteners or nuts. They fit perfectly fine and cost around 75 cent each.

Dealers are horrible with these things. It seems every other time I've ever had my car serviced either some or all of them were missing, or some replaced broken. I've had to make it a habit to look under the hood every time I pick my car up to make sure everything is still there.
