Abstract
A door harness mounting device in a door inner panel of a vehicle, the door inner panel including an internal face facing the compartment of the vehicle, a mounting panel mountable on the internal face, an edge face facing the body panel of the vehicle and a weather strip extending on the edge face. The device includes a grommet including a bellows portion and an elastic device which at least includes an elastic portion and a panel-fixing portion, such that the door harness can fit into the grommet and be installed closer to the internal face than a weather strip. The panel-fixing portion is adapted to engage with the mounting panel, such that the elastic device can be mounted on the mounting panel, and the mounting panel is adapted to engage with the internal face, such that the elastic portion can expand or contract as a function of whether the door is opened or closed.
