ABSTRACT:
A grommet assembly has a two-piece grommet comprising a shank and a flange at a rearward end of the shank for locating the shank in a panel aperture. The shank has a rigid projection at one side which is spaced from the flange to form a slot for receiving an edge portion of the panel and pivoting the shank into the aperture. The shank also has a flexible arm opposite the rigid projection which has spaced projections for engaging the backside of the panel when the shank is pivoted into the aperture. The assembly includes a gasket for sealing against the face of the panel and a U-shaped retainer which is mounted on the shank after insertion for securely fastening the grommet assembly to the panel and insuring a good face seal at the gasket.
