Looking for part number for threaded grommet

The factory amplifier bracket bolts to two threaded rubber grommets on the back of the front trunk / frunk. These things are pieces of crap and the rubber deteriorates. I cant find a replacement for the life of me. Does anyone know the part # or where to get a replacement?

have you tried Lowes? Or Ace Hardware? They are not OEM but I know they sell a rubber nutsert as I call it. If you want to make it permanent they make them in aluminum rivet style too.

Ace Hardware has what is called a well nut. A rubber grommet with brass threads!


This site is just to show the picture of well nuts.

Those rubber grommets normally cannot be reused.
obthomas, provided the part number, for future reference you can lookup parts here:
