You need "Northern Grommets"
Yea, old "real" rubber does eventually dry up and die, the new "Fake" rubber
Seems to crack to pieces without drying up, I probably have some good "Northern Grommets" as 
Does Jim.  Old stock is probably best and Mario may have some of those.
It’s a shame that most aftermarket rubber is such a crapshoot these days.

Well, I have some of the grommets that came off this car and they are rock hard.
