Camping shops sell them and you'll need a tool if you want to put new ones on your soft top. ThinkI got 100 and the tool for a fiver.
If it ticks over...leave it

They look better than the last ones I used.... they were rivet on type and came off eventually

However the right most lug on the tailgate is going to be a pain. The thread has snapped off in the hole which i can't get to the back of. I'm planning to drill it out and see if i can put the new one in there.

I've not seen them before, how do they work? You drill the old thread and then use the other bit to make new thread?

They are for removing snapped bolts, drill down the middle of bolt and screw one in and hopefully will turn the bolt out. You will need to drill and re tap the thread in the door
