Default Perfect replacement for those twist retainers on the engine covers

I’m lost one and broke one of those plastic twisty screw retainer things that hold down the covers in the engine compartment. I ordered replacement ones from an EBay supplier. They were shipped quickly, and they look identical to the OEM ones, except for the twist arrows, and work perfectly. Here they are:





oh yeah, I tried to order from another supplier, and after 30 days I never received them, and they hadn’t even shipped them and never responded to my inquires. eBay refunded my payment. (EastCoastCarParts2002)

Those push retainers are also used by several Ford vehicles.
