Window screen latch, white plastic

Several of these plastic latches to hold my screens in place are broken. They are inserted with rivets. I would like to know if I could replace and if so how? Are there substitutions I could use for the same function?

See if you could use a turn clip like the 70-026 or the 70-053 flush clip as a replacement. Look them over and see what you think. You'd have to drill out the old pop rivet, then you could install the new clips in the same hole.

This is a window screen clip. It is used on a double hung vinyl window. The screen sits in a track and the clips are plastic. The clips turn to hold the screen in place.

It looks like you are showing the same type of screen latch from your post from 2020 shown above. If so, see Bob's recommendations from our original response. Thank you!
