Plastic dial cover replacement

A couple radios I've picked up recently have the thin plastic dial covers that have really yellowed. Is there a place to order replacement covers? If so, how would they be attached? The old ones aren't glued or screwed in; they have those tiny metal punches - sorry, not sure what the proper term is.
Thanks,
Ryan
