A grommet for sealing an opening in a partition which having a main body and a fixture. The body has a flexible pocket surrounding the opening into which a skirt on the fixture enters. When the assembled grommet is placed under compression, the skirt forces the pocket against the edge of the opening, thereby providing a reliable waterproof seal. At the same time, the pressure urges a sealing lip on the main body against the partition to provide a watertight seal. Thus, the device is capable of producing two seals, rather than a single seal as is to be found in the prior art. The grommet is of particular use in connection with automotive vehicles.

A tying device for tying a wiring harness having a first annular holder for holding general wires, which has a first slit for inserting therethrough the general wires into the first annular holder; and a second annular holder for holding specific wires, which has a second slit for inserting therethrough the specific wires into the second annular holder and has a diameter smaller than that of the first annular holder so as to extend into the first annular holder from an inner peripheral surface of the first annular holder through a rib; wherein the second annular holder is positioned at a central portion of the first annular holder such that a space for accommodating the general wires is defined between the inner peripheral surface of the first annular holder and an outer peripheral surface of the second annular holder.
