Abstract
A unitary grommet, adapted to securely mount therein a headlight-protecting screens and further adapted to enable secure mounting thereof in a headlight-opening-defining portion of a vehicle bumper or the like, for protecting the vehicle headlight, is described. The unitary grommet is comprised of flexibly-resilient material, and includes a common wall, separating a peripheral screen-mounting section. The screen-mounting section extends behind the vehicle bumper headlight-opening, for preventing access thereto, and to enable secure and efficient mounting of the screen in the grommet. The bumper-mounting section is adapted to extend peripherally about the bumper headlight opening, when the grommet is properly mounted, and provides a molded channel for securely mounting the grommet in the vehicle bumper headlight opening.
