Body Panel Part Two!

[Tomline]

Are the rubber grommets specific to where they are located? Specifically asking about the three that hold the LH Left Side Lateral Panel? Thanks! In checking mine they seem to have had some type of lubricant placed or sprayed on them. They to be deteriorating! Thanks

I did two things with mine. First I put a black zip tie through each one to hold it in place because I kept loosing them. I also put a dab of grease in each so the pin would slip in and not push the grommet through.

others have siliconed the grommets in place to keep them from pushing through. Not all lubricants are good for the location of those grommets due to the high heat and can dry them out and they start to shread....spit work well....

+1 on using spit to lube the 3 posts that hold those removable covers on. If they're deteriorating, then someone used a reactive lubricant that wasn't suitable for those. It may be best to replace those three rubber grommets with any new cover.

You’re right about spit. That’s what my dealer recommended.
