Hi gang--did a search and can't find anything for this, so apologies if my search capabilities stink and this has already been asked.

I have a 2013 S10 that I bought used. After a few days I noticed that the right side cowling panel was loose on one corner. After taking it off I found that one of the clips had been stripped...probably from the previous owner not realizing they were a quick release when they were putting them back on? Anyway, went do my local dealer who ordered me a replacement part (90183-050A6-00 NUT, SPRING). When it came in it was this tiny clip that was about 1/4 the size of the original and instead of a quick release, was the regular screw-in/nut variety (they said this has superseded the original). I did get it to work by using a normal threaded bolt from the hardware store, but I would much rather get an original replacement quick release.

Can anyone point me to where I can get the original design?

This is the cowling I'm referring to:


This is the spot where the quick release clip *should* go:


This is what the original looks like (there are four for this cowling):


Annnd, this is what the quick release bolt looks like that I want to return to:


Thanks for your help, and again, apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere.
