1978 300cd cowl vent clips

I started out just pulling the rear glass and fixing the rust around the back window frame and touching up a few dings and bumps but when I started matching the paint, nothing worked so I am painting the entire car.
When pulling off the chrome and black cowl vents, the plastic clips or retainers that hold the cowl vent down broke the heads off (most of them) and I am having trouble finding them. Peachparts does not have a listing for them that they can find. These are rectangle shaped heads with the same pattern as the cowl vent on the visible side with a square shaft aprox 3/16 thick and 1/2 inch(or less) long.
Does anybody know where to find these? Part #, name? anything?

They have one that looks like I can make it work that fits a 124 and several newer body styles.
Very good link.
Thanks

correct

That one looks correct. They do not show a picture of the top but other than that it is identical.

Thanks.
