Rubber Grommet Replacement

[NoXiDe]

Any know the part number for this one? I want to have a replacement in the event I need to come up with another plan. I’m going to drill a hole into it to feed a wiring harness.

Unfortunately I do not have a “Ford” part number, but what you are looking for is similar to these:

You could try hitting up Levittown Ford on here to see if they can locate that exact part in the Ford parts system.

Hey Cobrajet, can you find something to replace the infamous A-pillar painted 'sticker' plugs, that bend, and allow water into the cabin? Thx.

seems like people are having trouble with the Ford stickers failing, if mine ever fail, I'm going to use some Gorilla tape or the strongest tape I can find available. I put some RV tape sealer on the roof seam of my motorhome, that stuff feels like it will NEVER come off, its so sticky you cant believe it and they sell it by the foot at rv repair places. Just a wild idea.

PPF is another option, I replaced my trunk lid decals due to Fords inability to stick them on straight and without shit under them :

That's not a bad idea. I have some PPF that didn't realize I had from about 8 years ago. Should be still good, no? The only problem is I'd have to remove the door to do anything resembling a mediocre job in that location, and no way I'd do that. So my other option is to put 100% silicon caulking over the bent portion of the sticker, to seal that area. Only one sticker on the right side (the middle one) seems to be bent. The others seem fine, but need to carefully check them one of these days.

I would have thought 8 year old PPF would be fine (given clean dry storage conditions). That stuff I used must have been around that - cycle frame protection patch’s from my first bike build. I had two sizes and tried the bigger one first, didn’t like it so pulled it off and went with the smaller one on the photo. Even after only 10 mins or so it was stuck ‘really’ well.

Next time I open my doors full width (I can’t where the cars Normally parked) I’m going to have a good look in that area to check mine and to see if I can come up with any ideas, a few tricks can get decals into really arkward positions ...

In the meantime silicon will do you no harm - it will do the job and offer damage free removal if you want to do something different in future
