Does anyone know what the little knobs/brackets that hold the silverware basket onto the door of a Whirlpool dishwasher are technically called, or where in the world to find them? I've searched every appliance parts store/site, and even on the diagrams with the breakdowns of every park, I can't seem to even find a trace of how to replace them or order the parts. From what I can tell from looking on other machines, they're somehow glued/welded into the plastic of the door's interior. Watching videos of the door taken apart don't show any signs that it attaches through the plastic.

My predicament is that I have a Maytag MDB4709. The body, interior, pump assembly, and frame are all Whirlpool before their change to the new eco design, and even those models have the exact same door, except with the knobs for holding the basket. I would like to install the mounts myself and order an OEM WP basket so that I can move it from inside the bottom rack. I just wish WP had not discontinued the PowerClean/Point Voyager models when I needed to buy, although this one is identical minus the brackets.
