Hood Louver problem

When I removed my louvers to get my car painted, I busted off all but 3 of the little plastic screws on each louver. Then I took them off about 2 yrs later to wash underneath them and now I have 1 screw left on one, and 0 on the other. I don't know how to replace them if they can be or any alternatives to hold the louvers on. What have you guys done? Thanks.

Ryan

Is there any of the plastic left were it broke? If so get some short screws with washers. If theres nothing left of that stud. U could glue them but than they are on for good. New ones

I'd really prefer not to go with new ones...things cost more than I'd like to pay...If I don't get any other ways to do it...I'm thinking about some hot glue...should be able to peel that off if I need to take them off.
