Does anyone have the (2) rubber rain tray spacers / washers? I purchased a pair last year from a vendor on ebay but lost one while cleaning the plastic tray this winter. The ebay vendor doesn't carry them any longer.

I think the reason for them is to help space the away from the frame supports of the engine lid. If you look at this area carefully, if the spacer isn't there then the tray isn't supported under the fastener as you install the fastener. Tightening the fastener would lead to (most likely) a stress crack in the tray around that boss.

I didn't have the factory part, but went to the local ACE hardware store. They had plastic spacers/washers in different thicknesses. They're white plastic versus the black factory rubber, but they perform the same function as the factory part. I'll post a pic, this will help explain the supported/unsupported part...
