Replacing Crumbled Rooftop Solar Connectors

[Duner733]

I am hoping I don't have to pull the box off the roof for repair.
These connectors literally crumbled when cleaning the roof before winterization.
This came as a huge surprise as my camper is stored in a barn (out of the sun) while not is use. So it is not sitting in the sun more than 25 days a year tops.
Anyway, I am guessing I will need to lift the panel to put new connectors on that way.
Short story long, where is the best place to get these connectors? I see a big variance on prices but need to make sure I get the right ones without overpaying.

I realize this is a bit old now and still have to wait to pull my rig out.
I am a bit concerns I will have to replace the actual rooftop box.
The threads coming out of the box are jacked up as well.
I will need to review how these are replaced. My guess there is something on the inside of these boxes to hold them in.
