Multi-part grommet

Abstract

A grommet is provided for linking a wire through a rear door glass from the roof of a vehicle, the rear door glass of the vehicle configured to open and close independently from the opening and closing of the rear door of the vehicle. The grommet has first through third flexible moldings and first and second rigid moldings. The flexible moldings allow the grommet to flex with the opening closing motion of the rear door and rear door glass, while the rigid moldings prevent the wire from deforming the grommet. The grommet is adapted to accept a wire through the third flexible molding and through the second rigid molding, through the second flexible molding, through the first rigid molding and through the first flexible molding. After passing the wire through all moldings, the moldings are adapted to be sequentially connected each other in substantially the same order as the wire passing order. Portions of the moldings have generally circular tubular configurations, while other portions of the moldings have generally flat tubular configurations in order to pass a group of wires through a narrow space. The grommet provides water-resistant protection for the wires contained therein.
