Interior panel fasteners

I've sometimes had to take out various of the interior panels on my '90 convertible. No matter how careful I am, sometimes I break the little push-in fasteners which hold in things like the kick panels, or the inside skins in the trunk. They're 36 years old and plastic is getting brittle

There are at least 3 varieties; one with a 20mm head and 7mm serrated shank, one with a 10mm head and the same shank, and one with a small plastic insert, which you push in flush to lock, and push in a little more to unlock.

Does anybody know the part numbers for those things? I couldn't find them in the parts manual. Or if anybody has a good source for replacements which will work, that would be appreciated. I got a box of assorted fasteners, and some of them sort of fit, but they're not great.

Hints appreciated.

Huh. Yeah, they look similar to at least some of the stock ones. But sheesh, 7 bucks apiece?? I better not break too many more . . .

I've had great luck here:

Some will be exactly what you're looking for, others will be close enough.

Its not per piece. The price listed is for a pack of 10.

I figured on doing just that, but per post 1, I can't figure out where to find the part numbers for those fasteners. Hints?
