Now glue it to the bike.

I used anti corrosion grease on the nipple , seems fine ... The glue would be a bit difficult I feel , also now aware I will be easier with the handling , I feel the rubber and nipple stick to each other with the grease I hope no seal is made..

If I lose it again , I will come back to this thread and say what a dummy I am :surprise::laugh2:

I just ordered 3 grommets. They're like $3 each so now I have spares.

I used a small thin "zip tie" to secure each grommet.

Haven't lost one yet.

The zip tie or the grommet?

Neither one. Both are secure.

My bike came from the dealer brand new with the grommets zip tied on, so they know there's a problem with their grommets.
