Abstract
A grommet and corresponding installation system includes a grommet body with an outer surface and a cord that is attached to and extends outwardly from the grommet body, along with a grommet installation tool having a cord-engaging end removably attached to the cord such that the tool can be manipulated to tighten the cord which radially compresses the grommet body, whereby the tool can be used to pull the grommet through a panel hole when the grommet body is in such radially compressed state.
