Default hood grommets

Does anyone make hood grommets or plugs for those nubs that the windshield would rest on? One of mine came off and I'll probably never drop the windshield so if I could remove them and insert a rubber plug or grommet, that would be great

Default Plugs

I recall somebody posted a thread with plastic plugs available. I was just searching for that myself and came across this one... I'll keep searching. The pastic caps fit into the hood grommet holes as well as holes in the tailgate.

If I recall correctly, somebody had purchased a whole bag of them and was offering them pretty inexpensively on the forum.

Found the thread: "Tailgate Hole Plugs"
Original Poster: Saginawmike
These also fit in the hood as shown in a photo in the post.

Around page 3 of the postings, there is an additional post (#23) by Mike De with info on the pieces and company:
automotive-hardware
10 pcs 1/2" Hole Plug - Flush Type
[XHPF-D1091]

5 pcs 1" Hole Plug - Flush Type
[XHPF-MP28E]
Thanks to both Mike's for the original posts!!
