ABSTRACT:
The grommet having a longitudinal axis includes a funnel shaped portion having a flared end, a narrowed end and a conical wall with external and internal conical faces. The external conical face includes an external circular groove having a groove base. The grommet further includes a tubular portion extending outwardly from a circular joint section formed at the narrowed end of the funnel shaped portion. The grommet is configured to mount a wire harness for vehicles containing a water-trapping zone, and to be installed into a through-hole formed in a body panel of a vehicle. The funnel-shaped portion includes at least one device for improving the flexibility of and/or space availability for the wire harness to be mounted including an extended tubular portion to hold the water-trapping zone of the wire harness, a structural configuration allowing the length along the longitudinal axis of the funnel shaped portion to be reduced such that the wire harness can be wired substantially alongside the body panel, and a plurality of funnel ribs having closely arranged first end sections that form a circular space around the tubular portion.
