I damaged my front license plate bracket, so bought a new one, but when installing the new bracket, one of the white grommets that swivels to allow a screw to be inserted through it broke. Does anyone have an extra one to sell me? Someone who perhaps won't be using their front bracket? I really don't want to buy a whole nother bracket just to get two of those grommets. Lol.
 
Happened to me too a while back, couldn't find a replacement, so my solution, which works till this day, was a small wall anchor you use for drywalls.
If you can't find the piece, that could be a fix for you.
 
The front plate bracket is installed by the dealership during the PDI process, so stuff like the little pieces for this they usually keep extras of because sometimes the cars come off the truck and they are missing little pieces like this. If you have a local dealership that is not totally lame, they should be able to hook you up with a couple...
 
Update. I finally had time to take care of this. I asked my dealer if they could give me an extra grommet, but they said I would have to order the whole plate bracket to get it. Went to the hardware store and got a toggle bolt. Worked perfectly, and the plate bracket is secure now. Thanks guys for the suggestions.
