True enough. Maya culpa. https://www.ebay.com/itm/282361156691

Seems these are available multiple places with aftermarket pieces (I bought because I ran across them by accident while browsing the ebays). FCP, Autohausaz, ECS, etc. Looks like they are made by URO. LOL, a door lock trim piece is one of the few places I trust a URO part. Plus, the genuine ones are the better part of $20 each... so I'll give it a whirl. Will report back if they are trash.

These are door grommets. I thought we were talking about foam between the tail lights.

We were, Wayne asked about the door grommets. I wish I found a source for aftermarket gaskets as well. As I said, for those, some closed cell foam strips of suitable thickness might work.

Hey, FCPEuro has the left side gasket on clearance for $10. I'm ordering one to lock in my lifetime replacement.

Thanks CeeDubya!

And yeah, there are many closed-cell foam products that can be used for the tail light gasket - either the strip type (with adhesive) or as a sheet - use the old gasket as a pattern to cut a new one.
