Abstract
Grommets for supporting harnesses and systems and methods including the same are disclosed herein. The grommets include a grommet body, a resilient cushion, and a retention mechanism. The grommet body is configured to be received within an aperture that is defined by a structural component and defines a tubular receiving region that is sized to receive the harness. The resilient cushion is located within the tubular receiving region and is configured to extend between the harness and the grommet body. The retention mechanism is configured to selectively retain the grommet body within the aperture. The methods include locating the resilient cushion around an external surface of the harness, locating a first body portion and a second body portion around an external surface of the resilient cushion, and operatively interlocking the first body portion with the second body portion to form the grommet body.
