The grommet assembly includes an annular cavity therein having a retaining ring mounted in the cavity along the body of said bolt toward said head when the bolt is inserted into the grommet assembly, then moves back along the body of the bolt and into the groove of said bolt when the bolt is moved to the first position.
An annular washer encircles the grommet assembly on the blind side of the panel, the washer abutting against the blind side of the panel, the grommet assembly including a grommet having a terminal end on the blind side of the panel bearing against the washer thereby holding the washer against the blind side of the panel and bearing thereagainst.
