They look pretty much like the inner fender to cab grommets linked above. Maybe we are talking past each other on the location, inner vs outer.
Appreciate the insight on what you've seen on other trucks! |
Upon further inspection, the grommet that's there appears to be split to fit in there, did find the other one, it had fallen out and was in the 'bag and tag' box.
Here's photo of the hole, so from the factory, there was nothing used in here? I get you need some wiggle room for fender alignment, but this is a big hole. The aftermarket one I used the picture was from Truck Shop, that hole looks smaller than mine... hmmm. Oh well, I got what I got, so I'll put something similar back in there...
