I've made the grommet type, but eventually they can break,,,,UV exposure I guess. So replace them every once in a while.
I had one give out again recently. I should have replaced it, since the other side did it earlier,,,duh.
Anyway since I didn't have a grommet tool, I bought a set of the Thule temporary ones $$$ :P. I notice it can pull on the hood sheet metal. So IMO the grommet type is stronger. Just inspect the strap periodically.
