Abstract
The structure for fixing a grommet to a housing is composed of a housing provided with a connector portion formed at least partly in a column shape, a wire harness connector coupled with the connector portion with a coupling gap and a tubular shaped grommet made of resilient material put on an outside circumferential surface of the connector portion to waterproof seal the coupling gap. The grommet includes a wall with openings that snap over protrusions on the connector portion to rigidly fix them together. The connector portion includes a locking through hole for receiving a latch on the wire harness connector. Seal lips on the grommet are angled downward so as to provide sealing for the locking hole.
