Greeted with finding this on the ground the other week.So have replace the spring. Note the shock bolt top is actually 1.25mm pitch M12, not standard coarse , but other wise an easy job to do. However in removing the cover panel between windscreen and bonnet, three different plastic fasteners are used, rear outer Fir tree, front outer a push rivet with a quarter turn release and then a two side centrally srung hollow rivet at the front centre postion.
Any ideas on the correct term for each of these and a source?
The caps on the wiper Nuts are standard 13mm across M8 caps.

That was my first port of call, Found the nut caps and some generic fir trees, but finding the other two, or equivalent in black, has so far defeated me. Hence looking for the correct terminology?
 
This is the bane of my life. No matter how careful you are, some of the fasteners always break or go missing, but finding suitable replacements is a major headache. And I've no idea what they are called, either :(
