Missing body grommets
When I removed the door sill I was greeted with this:
I could not find the rubber grommets the white clips slip into in PET, Also, the white plastic bit is in need of replacement. And finally does white clip that secures the door sill aka protection plate in place come with the door sill or are available separately?
Thanks.

You kids with your 3d printers, making things easy! Back in my day, when a part was NLA it was NLA!
Speaking of plastic door bits: Does anyone know the part number for the door card retainer pins? Or a suitable non-Porsche replacement, of course.

NOTE on the door sill the clear nipple is for the door sill number pin the other black nipples are bigger and hold the door sill clips.
For posterity i will add the removal instructions for the door sills.
Remove the center pin in the rivet at the rear of the door sill, pull out the rivet.
put a wedge under the # 2 of the 928 to lift the pin out of the nipple
Lift the inner edge of the door sill off the carpet about an inch .
Slide the door sill to the seat about 2 inches , this will let the outer pins come free of the door sill.
Turn the outer T clips 90 degrees,
they will pull free from the sill nipples

Yup, those guys. Thank you!
Hmm... $1.30 apiece? Yeesh! Time to look for a modern replacement. Maybe something in the VW/Audi family.
These say they'll fit an 8mm hole, and you get 10 for the price of 1: https://www.ebay.com/p/10x-Door-Trim-Panel-Clip-Retainer-Fastener-Fit-for-VW-PASSAT-Jetta-Golf-94-2012/1655535054?iid=111378686286&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao %3D1%26asc%3D43628%26meid%3D9171de31d7014c0aac0cd73c9da0db4d%26pid%3D100 005%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D6%26mehot%3Dag%26sd%3D132318070042%26itm%3D11137868 6286&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851
Worth a gamble for $2. Further updates as events warrant.
