I have no idea. Ive tried some other manufacturers grommets like thunder tiger and radio shack but they are eaten up with 1 or 2 days of flying.

Grommet fix...

A few of us at the field use the CA method. Carefully CA (I used medium) the grommets to the canopy -- also, lube the standoffs with some synthetic oil -- a very small amount will do. One of the reasons the grommets keep getting ripped in half is they really stick to the standoffs -- most of the wear on mine was from taking the canopy on and off. Hope this helps!

Standoff solution

Use CA to glue the gromets to the inside of the canopy as described above. Put the canopy on. Get a piece of fuel tubing, and cut it down so it is just long enough to go over the ball link with some extra sticking out. The fuel tubing will keeps the canopy in place, which prevents wear on the gromets.

Another solution would be to use a spacer and a bolt, kinda like the front ones.
