ABSTRACT:
A fastener grommet assembly of soft or flexible plastic material which forms a non-porous "bathtub" enclosure that fits into an aperture in the body panel part of the automobile. A depending lug from an interior part of the automobile is provided with a metal retainer member that forms a pliable prong that can be pushed into a snap-fit relationship with the flexible grommet member and thus cause opposing wall portions of the grommet to expand into a seal-tight engagement with the rim of the aperture of the exterior body panel part of the automobile.
