	Does your old Roundel look like this one?
	Use a small flathead screwdriver to pry your old Roundel off. Use a rag so you do not chip your paint. Pry your way around the Roundel until it pops off.
	Have your two new grommets handy.
	Clean behind the old roundel and insert the two new Roundels into the holes.
	Push the new Roundel into the grommets.
	Done! Doesn't this look much better?
	I did the front at the same time.
