Abstract: A grommet is attached between a body panel and a trunk lid at a location spaced from a hinge that movably supports the trunk lid. The grommet is located inboard of the hinge and is attached only to the body panel and trunk lid and free from connection to the hinge. The grommet includes a body mounting end attached to the body panel, a trunk lid mounting end, a first flexible section extending from the body mounting end, a second flexible section extending from the trunk lid mounting end and a middle section extending between the first and second flexible sections. The first flexible section and the second flexible section are configured and arranged to bend as the trunk lid moves between the open position and the closed position to prevent contact of the grommet to the hinge.

Abstract: A grommet is attached between a body panel and a trunk lid at a location spaced from a hinge structure that movably supports the trunk lid. The grommet forms a wiring passageway between an opening in the body panel and an opening in the trunk lid. The grommet includes a body mounting end, a closure panel mounting end, a first flexible section, a second flexible section and a middle flexible section. The first flexible section extends from the body mounting end and the second flexible section extends from the closure panel mounting end. The middle flexible section extends between the first and second flexible sections in a free floating configuration with respect to the hinge structure, with the first and second flexible sections having a more bendable configuration than the middle flexible section.
