I much prefer the older ones. I never pushed the pin in too hard and never lost that part. It was far preferable to always needing a screwdriver, which royally sucks, imo.

I went into my trunk this past weekend and i couldn't find any of the poppet fasteners. The only ones i could find didn't weren't removeable because the middle peice they put into them doesn't have a head you can unscrew. It's basically in for good. You can't remove them.

i bet if you went to a bodyshop, they'd give you a handfull for a couple bucks.

As for the kind you "can't remove", a flathead and a forktool/crowsfoot/trimtool would take care of that.

and the screw style suck because they don't like to "thread" right, so a screwdriver almost never works.

You can remove them.. They make plastic prybars that can be slipped in-between the head of the pin and the panel. If you pull on the panel they'll come out. however a few of mine broke.

Warr, I have a ziplock bag of the push pin ones in the garage somewhere. When I come across it, I'll keep you in mind. You can have them. If I recall correctly, they were the non-grain, smooth black finish.
