need help finding a thread cheap mods

I was certain it was stickied but can't seem to find it now. I was really interested in the inserts or grommets that went in the holes in the door from Lowes. Any direction would be appreciated.

For '05 and later, use 11/16" in the upper hole and 5/8" in the lower.

For 04 and earlier 2 11/16", 1 5/8"

Thanks Eric! Do you know what they are typically used for so if I ask at the hardware store I don't have to ask for things to put in my doors? I looked for them at lowes and couldn't find them.

Just ask for 'plugs', there are a variety of uses.

At Home Depot, they were in the fasteners aisle in the drawers of miscellaneous screws, spacers, nuts and bolts. I think Lowe's has something similar but I'm not sure if that's where they'd be.

I just went to Lowes last night for my set. They are in the "Hardware" dept. Look for long metal drawers of nuts and bolts. The drawer with the 5/8 plugs are marked "plugs" and there should be a picture of them on the front.
