ABSTRACT:
A grommet is mounted on a wire harness and inserted and latched into a vehicle panel aperture having a circular arc section at each corner. The grommet has a small tubular portion and a large tubular portion fitting the aperture. The large tubular portion has an annular latch groove having a concave shape on an outer peripheral surface at a predetermined distance from an end. Of two side walls that sandwich a groove base of the latch groove, a first side wall has a height from the groove base greater in straight sections than in arc sections to allow the straight sections to catch a periphery of the aperture more deeply than the arc sections.
