Where to find the washer thing that hold the dome light in place?

Hi,
I replaced my headliner this weekend, and one of those little washer star things that hold the domelight up in place went flying and now I can't find it.

What are they called? and anyone know where to get one? I tried Home Deport and Lowes, and they don't have them. I'm hoping I don't have to go to the JY just for this tiny little thing.

IIRC, you can find them in the hardware section of Lowes, in the specialty fastener drawers.

Thanks, I'll try Lowes again. Hopefully I just missed them.

Just twist and pull the mounting studs out and replace with a couple of self tapping screws.
