All the studs are plastic--old, brittle plastic--so if you attempt to tighten the speed nuts, you're very likely going to twist them off. I replaced my louvers with new, though they aren't cheap.

Many folks remove the louvers, and use 5 minute epoxy to glue small bolts onto the louvers where there are broken studs, let them dry, and use nuts on the underside when reinstalling.

normally you can find them around %360 plus shipping(too rich for me,) I used rhe plastic license plate push in fastners from a cord explorer and made the louver kind of concave where the pegs broke off and rough it up and then epoxy them on let it dry completely then use more over the whole base to seal it in and the speed (cheap tin) nuts still fit and since the fastners were a hair bigger it helped to keep them tight.better plsdtic too shouldn't ever get brittle at least no time soon.

make sure you clean boyh mating surfaces with alcohol and let it sit for a while to seal on there good and I would recommend 3m tape. The foamy type not thr thin stiff.

I use the 3M windshield adhesive. Just figure out where it's lose and squirt a dab or two in there. It sticks forever and it's not impossible to break lose if you have to.
