I used a Duct Seal type product from 3M to mold replacements for all the
plugs and grommets that were missing on the firewall. It was much
easier to install and eliminated the problem of ordering the correct
part.
Once smoothed, I painted it to match the engine room and it looks
fine... plus I can't see the carpet when I check the oil.
Just a side note. I needed to replace the windshield washer pump motor,
the price was just under $30 the cataloges. The universal pump motor
from Wal-Mart with hose and fittings, less than $10, works great. But,
I still hope I never need to use it.
