Nice one. I seem to have suffered “disappearing roof grommet” syndrome myself!

I just use a short strip of black insulating tape. Never comes off and very hard to spot.

If you're very picky, the originals are best as they sit flush with the black trim - the newer ones are a little bigger and are more noticeable, once fitted.

If you can find some old original ones, they'll likely have faded to grey, but a quick coat or two of Satin black will make them look like new.


Cheers,
Karl.

Did this in an emergency - 5 years ago, it's still there!
