Tailgate Grommets
I took off the stock spare tire carrier because it won't hold a 37 and I don't have an aftermarket bumper yet.
I also took out the rubber bumpers that stick out a few inches where the tire rests.
It looks like the big hole that the wires ran through is about an inch and the smaller ones from the bumpers are about 1/2", but oblong.
Does anybody know where to get rubber grommets/plugs to plug these holes so that water will stay out?
The local auto parts stores just have general wiring grommets with large holes in the middle. I'm wanting something that is webbed solid or has a small hole.

I know my local Ace Hardware has a lot of Rubber plugs and grommets and things. Not necessarily in their automotive section, but when i start poking around there, i usually find a lot of good stuff for use on the jeep.

I found some 1/2" plastic hole plugs at Pep Boys to put in mine. The holes are actually oblong, but the 1/2" round plugs still snapped in and cover the entire opening.
