Si wing about to fall off

So I know there are tons of threads about trunk rattle, I have read them, and the weather stripping/trunk latch tightening are this week, but more pressing is the wing itself.
It appears that 2 bolts from the wing need to have some plastic locking clip instead of a standard washer, yet I cannot find these anywhere. The wing literally scoots forward and backwards about 1/8", it's bad. I can push down on the wing when the audio is up and the rattle is gone, but I can't find what kind/size of clips/nuts are needed to tighten the wing back down. About to have a LOT more pressure pushed from the truck, I need EVERYTHING cranked down. Any clue where to get these illusive clips?

Have you tried asking your local Honda dealer for the clips... They shouldn't be to much, if not to just get the part number so you can search for it...

Do what you can now with the rattles, unfortunately you won't get everything at once... you'll fix on area and then another presents itself... Its and ongoing process...

The local Honda house here is run by b-holes, really rude, so I was avoiding probably the best solution to my issues. I figured they would say I did it since it's not a stock stereo system and tell me to kick rocks!
I guess I had better get used to SOME rattle, considering how it is now and what I am dropping in.
