Default XK8 Boot cover parts question?

I have a 1998 XK8 convertible that I obtained used. The boot cover is in excellent condition but it is missing one of the three black plastic parts that fit into the loops on the cover rear which hold the cover down. Cannot find the correct name.

Does anyone know the correct name of the part and where I can find one?

You might use a small wooden dowel.

You could buy 2 x CBC7363 and 1 x HJA7845DA

Or .......... you could buy a cheap ball-point pen and cut the outer sleeve into a couple of 2 inch long sections.

Both would work - the former might be more expensive.

I just cut some pieces of vacuum hose or the right diameter to length and put it into the loops, works great! its soft and won't scratch anything
