Update on this topic. I did get a very similar item to that which David bought, but the rubber was so hard that, even once I got the rubber grommet in, the aerial would just not fit through.

So, I bought the one that Sean posted (link now deleted) and that was a much more flexible rubber. With a bit of warming up and some help from a plastic trim tool (and a few choice words of encouragement!) all eventually went in well.

Photos attached of the old grommet (removed) and the new one (in place).
