Abstract: A grommet configured to pass through a vehicle wall and an acoustic mat is provided. The grommet includes first and second sealing segments, a mounting segment, and a pass-through segment. A flange configured to abut the vehicle wall extends from the first sealing segment. The pass-through segment has a NVH flap that is configured to abut the acoustic mat. The grommet has a grommet installation coupling that includes a mounting hole in the flange for receiving a mounting stud that extends from the vehicle wall and an engagement member that engages the mounting stud. The engagement member applies an installation force to the flange, which moves the grommet longitudinally from a first installation position to a second installation position and pushes the NVH flap against the acoustic mat so that the NVH flap is deflected back toward the flange as the grommet moves to the second installation position.

Abstract: A modular vehicle floor system is provided that has a floor pan with integrated storage compartments. A floor is defined by a deck and compartment lids that overlie the floor pan and can provide a waterproof seal for the storage compartments. The deck and compartment lids together define a substantially flat surface that is covered by a vehicle carpet. The deck can include basket-like liners extending downwardly therefrom that nest within the storage compartments and define the inner surface(s) of usable spaces within the storage compartments. The deck includes a raceway system with one or more troughs or ports that house lengths of vehicle wiring, under the deck surface. The deck can further include flanges and/or tabs for serving as mounting substrates, against which sills and other hard trim components are mounted, allowing trim components to be mounted to the deck and not mounted directly to the vehicle body.
