Convertible top fix suggestions

Happy Holidays everyone!
I'm looking for suggestions as to what I can do to make or replace the u-shaped hooks on the body clip that holds down the little straps of the convertible top down to the body. I have 2 that were broken off (somehow?) and am interested in what could be done to replace them.
Thanks Idea

I replaced a couple of rusty ones on my dad's Thing with battery hold down strap hooks. I picked mine up from the local camping supply, as they had metal ones. Very Happy
