Default Replacing floormat clips

Has anyone else had this problem? All of my floormat clips for the front mats in Elwood have come off. The pegs themselves are stillin the floor, but the clip itself has come off and are still on the mats. Does anyone have any tips on re installing the clips????

Separate them and then just stick the bottom one back onto the one on the floor.

Tried that, but they won't lock in place.

One of mine has done this, too. It's gotten pretty loose now, though it does go through some good periods of holding, still. And the peg on the bottom almost feels like it's not quite solid. Is it threaded in, or hardmounted to the floorpan?

Wait man, I was wrong. The one on the floor with the 'nipple' screws into place, the ones for the mat are sandwiched together. U may need to use pliers or a rubber mallet to get them to really stick.

My driver's side clips are screwed.

The one on the right - the small part that turns to lock it into place and snapped off...

The one on the left - Well since the right side was lose, I was pushing on the mat getting adjusted in my seat and then, SNAP! The clip broke from the floor. It's not bolted to the floor pan. Anyone know where I can order replacements?
