thanks buddy working onnit.

Big title , I am currently minus door cards whilst they are being re-upholstered I discovered that the drivers door has no little white plastic grommet/plug (?) for the fastening self tapper to screw into. I cannot find reference to this item and wonder if anyone here has any guidance for me .
