A couple more fuel-related questions

Merry Christmas!

My first question is about the tank/tube grommet. As most of you know there was a problem with poorly constructed grommets a few years back and I bought my tank w/grommet quite a while ago when I thought I was just going to get the car running and drive it. I believe I bought it in 2006. The grommet does have the Chrysler part number on it but I don't think it's a Chrysler part. How can I tell if this is one of the good grommets?

Second question is about the trunk floor/tube seal. What type of screws/bolts were used to hold the seal down? I've got an aftermarket seal and the holes in it appear to be a fair amount larger than the holes in the trunk floor.

I don't remember the application on the junk fuel filler neck seal , gotta picture? I could probably tell you if its a good one or not.

But the screws that hold the plate seal to the floor are the same screws that hold the washer resevoir to the inner fender .

Thanks. Here's the grommet pic. It's a little grungy from sitting around the garage for 5-6 years but you can see the part number at the top, 2880481.

Never heard of nor am I aware of any issues with the 481 pt # seal

I used silicone grease on mine to keep it pliable and easy to assemble, and an airtight seal.
