Positioning projections for engaging recesses in an outer peripheral surface of a mating member project from an inner peripheral surface of a grommet, and the position of a minimum inside diameter portion of each positioning projection after being fitted to the mating member is offset from interference of a jointing member. In a case where the positioning projections are formed in front of a sealing projection, a larger cylindrical portion is absent around their outer peripheries. Therefore, the enlargement of the diameter of the grommet during fitting to the mating member is not restricted, resistance during fitting is alleviated, and the positioning projections are engaged in the recesses with large elastic reaction force. Hence, a click feel is excellent.

The clamping band is capable of reducing a diameter with an ordinary tool or without the tool and improving working efficiency of clamping object members. The clamping band comprises: a first hook including a first projection, which can be engaged with the tool, and a second projection, which prevents rotation of a ring-shaped band member when a lever is pressed onto an external member; a second hook for engaging with the tool, the second hook being outwardly projected from the band member and located close to a position on which the lever is laid; and a clipping member for clipping and holding the lever in a laid state, the clipping member being located close to buckles.
