Missing grommets

[jcthorne]

A quick tip that Harvey showed me is to put a small tywrap through the grommet and secure over the top edge of the panel. You will never loose a grommet again. Neither will your dealer....

Ann, I've had my panels off & on at least 20 times and I have never pushed one thru. But I have pulled some out on occasion.....The flange on the grommet is twice as large on the front as it is on the back, and PIN you push in is pointed in the front not at the back sort of like an arrow-head.....But then again mine are Eastern Grommets :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:...............Mike :thumbup:

Your Spyder is too new! Wait till the grommets get hard and you will start pushing them through especially those shown by the OP.
Last oil change the ones on the right side (that get the most heat) were harder than a rock on my 2011 RTS!

FYI I got replacement grommets from Value Accessories a sponsor here:

Missing side Pannel Grumet ??????

A I missing grommets? I took spyder into dealer a few months ago before putting into storage. I don't remember the panels having a large rubber washer on one post and the other going into a grommet? Photos of left bike with panel off and picture of left panel showing a large rubber washer?

When I removed the same left side panel after the dealer had completed did the first check-up and oil change oil change, on my 2013 RT Limited. There was NO GROUMET and it had the exact rubber washer on the pin that you push into the gromet. IS this the dealers or are they coming from the factory like this

GROMMETS & PANELS

Well in your PIC see that torx bolt head .....it would be hard to miss seeing there was a Grommet missing next to it.....At the factory they have a box with 100 + grommets and 5 more boxes on the floor.....I think the tech at the dealer screwed you...................jmho.......Mike :thumbup:
