Grommets for side panels

[Yello Jacket]

I have removed the side panels on my 2011 RT and have damaged a couple of the grommets that hold the panels on. Is there somewhere I can purchase these ? Is this a BRP specialty product or can I find them somewhere else? :dontknow:

Honda goldwing parts

Honda goldwing uses the same grommets, any honda dealer have them 4 to 6 bucks for a package.:thumbup:

I've seen them at my Spyder dealer.

Those are push rivets, not grommets. Push rivets are available at an auto parts store.

Thanks for the info, I found what I needed on e bay and have them ordered. They were in the Honda Goldwing parts as you said. Thanks again.:2thumbs:

Grommets - hold them in...

I have used small cable ties every time I take a panel off to insure I don't lose these grommets....all that I do is use these small cable ties to tie the grommet to the hole frame it's mounted to -- I just use one cable tie per grommet.

If it pushes out when replacing a panel, at least it will be there to put back in the hole. I did this after finding a grommet (luckily) on my garage floor after removing one of the panels. Works great!

Hello my spyderlover friends....

I saw on a previous post and also have done on my 2012 Spyder RT Limited --- put a small nylon cable tie around each grommet to it's mounting hole/frame. Might hold them in better, but will definitely help you not lose them. I had one fall out (found it luckily on my garage floor) and I thought about the previous post stating to use cable ties. Haven't lost one yet by this method!!

Everytime I take a new panel off, I remember to do this to the exposed grommets. Over time, should get to them all.

That is a great idea. :bowdown: I'm going to start doing that.
