Door Lock Button Grommet?

Are original 1973 to 1991 GM door lock grommets still available?

My 1975 OEM grommets are made from stainless steel and fit the door panels nicely but the felt insert is worn out. It would be nice to find ORM replacements or a soft grommet insert to take the place of the worn out felt.

I bought 2 of 'em from Classic Parts (Chevy Duty)for .49 each. If they're not OE, they did a great repro of them.

LMC has them, not sure of the quality, item 14 on the link above.

Prong and TexasJeff thanks for the help.

The local Chevy dealership says the part is not available so I will try the ones in the links.

Wish someone made a felt or fabric insert you could slide up into the original grommet and glue in place. The last thing I want to do is crack one of these old plastic door panel replacing a grommet. LOL
