Just got mine done... There are 2 grommets.. they look over thought and over designed, and would be suited well for a Zodiac on the open ocean..
They sit low in the front gutter system, near the side fender vents, but sandwiched between the engine sheet metal and the outside skin. My take, after looking at them is that the flaps are fairly stiff even at room temperature and definitely could crud up with pine needles, dirt etc and you'd end up with a spa for the mice, with potential for the associated bath water to enter the cabin once blocked. If you live in the freezing climates, these things can definitely hold water. I tried one under the tap.
Here's a couple of pics of the high quality grommet, but not so much the right design for this application:
