Door Grommets

Anyone know where I can get the door grommets for a 1986 Ford F-150 XLT Door Panel?

I'm resurfacing the door panels, SEM prepping/painting all the plastic, polish the chrome and I think my wife found a near match for the Velour on the door as well.

If I can get a set of the door grommets to paint when I do the panels OR if someone is lucky enough to have a set of the Canyon Red ones I'd be ever so grateful!

Here is a pic of what I currently have from the passenger side.






Thanks in advance for any information I can get.

Even with a picture, I have no idea what you're talking about.... what is a door grommet? And, what is that a picture of? Presumably it's what you call a door grommet, but I don't recognize it and would like to see its relationship to something I know the size of, maybe a penny or maybe a car door as I can't even determine how big that thing is....

That was what I was thinking but I would call it a "inside door handle seal".


I did not know the doors had them as my truck (81) does not have them, truck has been jacked with a lot!
Great something else I have to look for.

Sorry everybody, I was out all yesterday and didn't get back till late.

Y'all are right. It's for the door handle inside. I didn't know what else to call it. No wonder I couldn't find it online..

That seal looks like you can see it if it is panel colored.
I know other makes use a vapor barrier (plastic sheet) taped to the inside of the door.
Then they use a closed cell black foam pad that fits over the handle and then the door panel installed.

The panel holds the foam in place and it seals off from any air blowing in. Don't know if something like that can be done or not?
I don't remember seeing any of the handle seals when looking thru sites.

I'm planning on sound matting the door under the panel for the vapor/sound barrier. When I redo the door panel I'm replacing all the (what looks like) carpet cushion on the back too.

I might be able to hit up the Pick n Pulls around the area and see if I can find them. Problem is most of the models around here are picked pretty good. Or the panels have been left in the truck bed for years and have fallen apart.

I've got everything I need to replace except these door seals. Hopefully when I get done the panels will be complete. The interior is amazing in the truck and my OCD is going to bother me if I can have the door complete. LOL

Thank You to everyone that dealt with my confusion and tried to point me in the right direction!

Thanks to everyone I now know they aren't called grommets and I may have a line on getting a used set of these.

Big Thanks to NumberDummy for the part numbers too! Now I only wish Ford still carried them! Now I can keep an eye out for the part number if it ever pops up!

Things have been hectic but I've ordered the door handle boots! Ended up being only $3 a piece.

I've saved the site now and will be using it in the future for parts too.

THank You Number Dummy!
