Any grommet that will fit sungly in the hole will do... go to Autozone, Pep Boys, Track Auto (are they even in business anymore?), etc...

I ended up replacing those type of grommets since they're more prone to cracking and breaking if you don't remove them just right. The replacments grommets do just fine even after repeated removal.

Re: Misc. clips and grommets (fangtl)
Have you tried different dealerships, or different people at the parts desk. I paid full price (~$4) for some screws/clips at my local dealer. When I got home I realized they had given me too many clips and not enough screws. So I went back to the parts desk and talked to another guy and he just handed me a whole handful of screws and clips no charge.

Re: Misc. clips and grommets (Burglar)
Well, I found them (sort of) at a local hardware store. They call them garnishing automotive clips, available in 1/4 and 1/2 sizes. They have the same push in/out mechanics, but it doesn't open up on all sides like the OEM clips, instead, it just opens on two ends. It works perfectly and at 73 cents a pair you can't beat it. I was told Home Depot may have them also, so it might be worth checking.
