Roof rack runner caps
 
Anyone know how I say get one or more of the little plastic caps that plug the thread holes in the roof rack black runners.

I can only assume that some sad low life has apparently prised one of mine out for fun.

Thank you in advance for hopefully being pointed in the right direction.

You will need two packs to get 4 matching 13mm Grommets

Tidy thanks very much for that I'll nip down tomorrow

Are they a decent fit in as much as fitting flush?

The old ones had faded to a light grey so new black ones would look better anyway if the do a decent job.

I have the Halfords grommets on the car and they serve me fine.

Alternatively if you desire soemthing more like the original, these may be worth the money.

Thanks for that link, I've just fitted the Halfords grommets highlighted in the other post, two packets £3.20 in total but the ones in your link would have been fine also, thanks.

What are we looking at there then? Two chrome strips in the runners?

I'm guessing you already have the answer to this :) They don't go grey and i havn't managed to jet wash one out yet.

Yup they're fine thanks.

Move ever so slightly in the hole if nudged to be honest so I put just the minutest dab of clear silicone on the underside of the top of the grommet.

They look fine, black to match the surrounding strip rather than the originals which had understandably faded grey over the years and the new ones are also unobtrusive, thank you for your suggestion.

I bought a set of those only a few weeks ago. Virtually identical to the original ones. How I managed to loose one I'll never know. Mine looked a bit grey compared to the new ones so I changed them all, and have a spare.
