Default Lost rubber pad under spoiler

All, I was washing my car yesterday and was cleaning under the spoiler on my convertible and noticed that one of the rubber pads or dots or whatever you want to call them (normally 4 of them) was missing. Any ideas where I can get another one? Part number ideas?

I "unscrewed" one of those plugs/grommets on my coupe, out of curiosity to see what was behind it.
Absolutely nothing!
I think they serve only as "stoppers" for the spoiler when it is lowered.
Word of warning though - it was a total PITA getting it firmly back in again, I nearly destroyed it doing so, best not to remove it in the first place.

Apply just a bit of water as a lubricant to pop it in place. If you're old school like me, just spit on it.

I only noticed one was missing because I was using my wash mit and pulled one out. It popped right back in as it was wet. To be clear, this is number 3 on the part link provided above? And damn, 12$ shipping? I might try to source elsewhere. Out of principal, that is somewhat ridiculous.

Who's near Columbus, OH that could pick these up and snail them to you for $0.41...?
