Easy Grommet Repair
Finding replacement grommets for chrome accessories can be a bear. Came across some plumbers facet washers I had in the shop. Easy fix and dirt cheap. Just drill the center hole out for the mounting bolt to fit through and your in business. Don't mind the dust in the picture.

Re: Easy Grommet Repair
Not sure that I get it - can you include a pic of the washers as-is before they were drilled?

Re: Easy Grommet Repair
When I put my trunk rack on, I was a little worried about the size of the washers:
I went to the hardware store and bought some larger fender washers and matching rubber washers to work as grommets:
