Grommets! #28312

As this is to do with styling on my Coupe, I thought I'd post this hear. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

Can anyone advise on where I can buy a single (or just a few) as a minumum purchase, grommetts for a hole approx 36mm diameter?

Halfords ones are too small, www.grommetts.co.uk stock this size but have a min order of £25 or 1000 grommets <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Can I just guess that you want the rear wiper removed. If so and you can find a supplier I'd happily order one as well.

Found a company online. "Auto Sparks"

They do a number of different sized grommets. The 1½" seems to be the best option.

No bother, thanks for looking. I found a company who can supply single large blanking grommets - see above.

It's either an animated rabbit. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Or a round rubber blanking plug. The one I'm getting is to blank the hole left after I remove the rear wiper.

Oh shít, your right. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

Next time you see a car, with an animated dog stuffed into the hole wear the rear wiper sits, you'll know who it belongs to. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

As expected the rear window spoiler Im fitting will affext the rear wiper so I definatly need it removed ASAP. Please post details of what size Grommet you need. I remember a thread on the old forum where someone had pics of their rear wiper removed.

Apologies for the delay in responding - been busy fitting Eibachs. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

The link to follow is Auto Sparks Online Catalogue , and you need to buy the 1½" blanking grommet, which is shown almost at the end of the page.

It fits, but is a little bit of a squeeze, but once in place looks perfect. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
