Picked my boat up from storage and found that 3 of the 4 plastic clips around the bottom are broken. Guessing after 10yrs the plastic dried out and got brittle. Is there a DIY option to replace these or do I need to take it to the upholstery place to have new ones sewn in/on?

The cover is starting to get a little thin but still works so I'm trying to use it through another year considering the cost of a replacement.
