Lost part - read again

Ok...so I pulled the grommet plugging the empty hole on the passenger side of the firewall....ended up not using this hole, so I go to put it back in. Can't get my hands in there to do it by hand, so I'm using a long pair of pliers. Of course, as anyone could guess...it slipped and fell into the Land of Lost Parts somewhere in the engine bay. So anyways, does it really matter? What are the odds of water getting through into the car? Is it worth having to jack up the car or do whatever to find it, then either be stupid and try to put it back in place with pliers again...or bribe a child with small hands to do it for me?

water can/will come in. believe me. heh.. and you do NOT want water around all the wires there. i had a really bad shorting out problem once due to popping loose one of those rubber seals.

Ok...can't seem to find the plug...and my two choices are either take apart the car to find it, or just buy a new one. I think I'll opt to buy the new one.

Do you guys think the Ford dealer would carry a part like this?
