Body drain plugs?
In the process of restoring the floor in the Cherokee I removed several rubber body drain plugs. They were 100% rubber and only pressed in by hand. After a quick trip to the local U-pull it I discovered that most of the Jeeps ended up using a glue in metal piece. That or at least the ones in the years I attempted to scavenge one off of. The Jeep is a 1996 and the dealer has no idea what I'm talking about. Then again at this point I don't even know if I know what I'm talking about. Regardless if anyone knows where to find these little rubber plugs I'd greatly appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction.

My 1996 has rubber plugs ... at least in the front passenger area.
Dealership - take a digital shot at a distance then one up close then goto the dealer for parts. Found this works best.

I need to replace these plugs as well... my Jeep has the metal plugs with the rubberized seals and it seems like once you remove them they're not really replaceable. I want to replace them with all rubber ones.
I'll try Napa, anyone know of anywhere else I might want to look for these? Seems like they would be a fairly universal thing that maybe a good hardware store would have?
