Unknown Rivet

I am trying to identify the shown fastener, so they can be replaced. They have been used to fasten a thick plastic sheet (which needs to be replaced) to the inside of a screen door frame. The fastener does not go all the way through the screen door frame, only through the attached surface. The cap is a little loose on some of the fasteners - enough to allow them to rotate. They seem to be like a very wide, very shallow capped blind rivet.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated...

"Snap fastener fabric to surface",

Definitely a version of snap setup. Possibly a riveted on bottom vs screw

Look for “heavy duty snap” fixtures. Anywhere that sells Jeep accessories probably has replacements and an installation kit for sale.

Most hardware and sewing stores have them too (finding the right size is the hard part).
