I never buy that stuff online unless having a part number. I usually try a local auto parts store with one of the old ones first, and match them up.
 
i bot a bunch of the grommets off amazon made in china

they worked ok for the most part but you could definitely tell they were not of oem quality grommets
 
I've bought better more durable nylon fasteners as such for my tundra at auto parts, after the originals weather rotted out. They were harder to install, but once in place they held up well.
I even picked up some for my snowmobile windshield from the same store after the originals broke trying to remove them.
