Anyone know where I can get some of these, pictured below? Kind of grommets/clips in the scuttle
I noticed one of mine is literally sitting there and wobbling, serving negligible purpose, and some of the others are a touch wet underneath to the touch.
They cover over holes which drop direct to the engine bay.
I actually looked on another Elgrand and there's were the same, so it might not be anything to worry about, but still, I'd like it water tight.

Cheers
(these are not pics of my Elgrand, but off the internet, but they are the same things)

Search 8mm plastic rivets.

I measured one just now as one of them just comes out.
Got 20mm across the diameter, 12mm the diameter of that inner circle, and the length/depth about 18mm

Maybe these would do, but have 13mm length?

The clip expands when the head is pushed in and holds firmly in place. They can be used for fixing sills, undertrays, bumpers and wheel arch linings, interior boot linings, carpets, dashboards and all interior trim.

It's the diameter of the hole you need to know, then just buy a bag and replace the lot.

Muppet question, but the other ones, not the one which just comes out, are they easy to remove? Do I just push them up and out?

I only need a couple! lol

I tried that fingernail pin thing you mentioned on one of the other dodgy ones, and got it out. Thanks.
I couldn't get it back in, but managed in the end :) I didn't want just an open hole etc

Dab them with a bit of silicon grease before you put them in.

Can I use a touch of white lithium grease instead? I've got a can of that.

( I think white lithium is more for metal though)
 
KY jelly will do.
