Probably a noob question ,but the rubber grommets in the floor well of my sierra have gone AWOL. Are they easily sourced ?

Very helpful
Lror have them. Generic ones that may also fit can be purchased from Purple Pig or Clark Rubber. I imagine suziauto, suziworld etc can also supply them.
Some of the generic ones are too thin for foot wells and will fallout with any pressure. Filling the indentation with silicone increases the rigidity.

eBay it, their is a company on their that sells the complete car rubber grommets. I bought a set when rebuilding my car and they aren't quite as good as the factory (bit thinner in thickness) but fit well.

i probably bought the wrong ones, but when i went to clark rubber, they had some that were way too big, or slightly too small (fit, but werent water tight at all and even a light bit of weight would push them through)... recently bought proper plugs from suzistore (see link at end). whilst not as cheap as clark rubber, they are worth it IMO, and were under $30 for a set of four express posted. only problem ive had with them is after it rains i need to pull them out to let out water thats leaked in from the windscreen seal. http://www.suzistore.com.au/shopexd.asp?id=20

Apparently you can fail your roadworthy without these. That's what I was told. I just need some so my amps and sub don't get swamped fording a river.
