Realoem is your friend. They certainly were available from dealers.

I don't think so as I'm sure there are drains underneath.

Let me know if you find any cheap, I paid nearly £20 for 10 from my local main dealer.

I'm considering replacing the side sills - does anyone know if they come with the Gromits?

One of our esteemed Bretherin here, pinged all his step grommets out, then sanded the steps to near perfect appearance... refitted the grommets & All looked Fab.
There is an article in these columns some where last summer or earlier - the result was pretty good I believe...
I've been itching to re-work my side steps, as they are pretty manky... summer will soon be here again - (I hope)

Might be worth a shot before forking out on a new set - it's an old car after all.
