ABSTRACT:
A grommet which includes a first tubular portion holding a wire therein; a flange formed on a front part of the first tubular portion; a second tubular portion extending frontward from the flange; a flexible front portion extending from a front part of the second tubular portion in a shape converging frontward; a lip portion formed on a rear part of the second tubular portion; and a third tubular portion extending frontward from the front portion. As the grommet is fitted in a panel hole with an annular groove on its inner circumference, the lip portion comes into contact with a panel face to define a first annular space cooperating with the rear part of the second tubular portion and the panel face, and the front portion comes into contact with a rearward facing part of an annular groove surface to define a second annular space cooperating with the annular groove surface.
