I've just installed the second of three 'MJ Doctor' upgrades to my car, which are the aforementioned boot lid grommets:
[1] Brake block upgrade (installed)
[2] Boot lid grommets upgrade (both installed)
[3] Glovebox LED light upgrade (still to do)
I took some photos to show the before and after, and you can see that my previous fix using black Sugru lasted less than a year or two before coming away from the surface and breaking up. As mentioned by HPSauce, the smaller one on the boot lid itself appears to flex more than the larger grommet in the rear wing.
The whole process took less than five minutes. I shall clear up the grunt on the bodywork around the edge of the grommets when the weather clears up a bit. This upgrade will hopefully enable my boot to remain somewhat drier than it currently is, due to the constant ingress of rainwater.
