Hi, I have a Gen 1 Viper with a hard top and sport cap pad, and I often switch between them, depending on the weather. The pad has studs and bolts (2 each) to keep it in place, which I normally store in the glove box, but someone swiped them and I need replacements. I *think* they are items #16 and #18 at this parts website but I'm not certain:

Does anyone know for sure?
Also, has anyone found a better way to attach the pad? Securing the bolts on that thing is an exercise in frustration! Even when I manage to get a wrench in there to tighten the bolts, which takes forever cause there's only space for 1/8 turn at a time, they never seem tight enough and I'm always scared the pad is gonna fly off while driving down the freeway. I feel like there must be a better way, either a specialized tool to tighten the bolts or something better than the factory bolts to attach it.
Thanks
