rivnut fastener or go to the dealer--replacements are pretty cheap if I remember correctly.

Harbor Freight/Northern Tool has install tool and multiple sizes if you've got a store in your area. They're actually pretty handy to have around!

a bit of JB Weld will hold it pretty securely too, just have to wait for it to cure. Still, if you already have some, it's the cheapest way to go.

If you upgrade to the threaded insert you'll never have to mess with it again.
