Abstract
A grommet assembly has a main grommet body including first and second surfaces opposite one another. The first surface includes a sealing portion. An elastic pressing member operatively associated with the main grommet body applies a pressing force to the second surface. The elastic pressing member may attach to brackets provided on an exterior wall of a vehicle, e.g., an automobile. The grommet assembly may include a rigid plate member disposed between the elastic pressing member and main grommet body. The grommet assembly may include structure for substantially preventing relative rotation between the main grommet body and the elastic pressing member, structure for uniformly distributing the pressing force from the elastic pressing member to the main grommet body, and structure for supporting the elastic member in substantial alignment with the grommet body prior to assembly.
