I broke one of these connectors on the hood on my convertible. Does anybody know what they are called? The photos below are from the side that isn't broken. The first photo shows the connector I sheared off.

They're called snap fasteners. That's a broad term, though, that covers anything from the tiny ones on dolls clothes to this.
Here's an example of some very similar automotive ones
