Abstract
A grommet includes a small diameter tubular section and a large diameter tubular section contiguous with the small diameter tubular section. The large diameter tubular section is provided on the outer peripheral surface with a plurality of projecting portions that extend from a connecting part between both of the sections to a side wall of vehicle body engagement annular recess in an axial direction of the large diameter tubular section and are separated from one another in a peripheral direction of the large diameter tubular section. Each of the projecting portions includes an increasing diameter directing slant portion that extends from the proximal end point through the contact point to the bending point in parallel to the outer peripheral surface of the large diameter tubular section, and a decreasing diameter directing slant portion that extends from the bending point to the distal end point and inclines in a reversed slant direction.
