WTB: Grommets that hold on plastic engine cover

Post by 94subarulegacy »

So I have a 94 Subaru Legacy and I like the engine cover, but I am missing the two front grommets to hold down the plastic cover. Or just let me know of a good OEM place where I can get cheap shipping on these tiny things. I am in VA.

With that high-tech aluminum shielding you shouldn't need the plastic engine cover.

If you can't get to a junkyard, or find something workable in a hardware store, and don't want to just buy it from a local dealer, you could try SubaruParts.com. It's part number 14096AA001. When you try to buy one (for $2.51), the shipping cost is $2.99. When you try to buy two shipping jumps to $9.95. Silly computers. Maybe you could just call them on the phone and ask if they'd drop them in an envelope for you.

I think i just bought some gromits at Home Depot or Lowe's. I wish i still had the part number, but they worked fine.
