ABSTRACT:
A grommet routes a wire harness from an inner side of a vehicle door into a vehicle body. A depression wraps around an edge of the door with a first part on a hinge surface of the door and a second part on the inner side. The grommet has an elastic member for fitting within the first part and a rigid retainer member extending around the edge into the second part. The members are secured together. The elastic member has a grooved periphery for receiving a flange surrounding an opening linked to the first part of the depression. The retainer member is secured in the second part of the depression by a fastener inserted into an aperture in the second part. The members have passageways to route the harness around the edge of the door. Fins on an underside of the elastic member seal against the first part.
