Default Passenger side firewall gromet

Awhile back I ran some audio wires through this gromet. I decided to cut a slit in the gromet for the audio wires but have recently removed these wires.

Question is, how would one go about putting a new gromet in the place of the old one? There is all kinds of wires running through this hole in the firewall........wouldnt the wires have to be cut(I wouldnt do this)? Or is there a quick disconnect somewhere under the hood or the dash?

Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated.

Take the new gromet and cut it on one side. Open it up around the wires, place it in the metal hole and a dab of glue to keep it tight at the area that was cut.

Me personally I would either put a small patch of duct tape over it or something similar or not worry about it much.

Good luck

Brad

How about some silicone caulking? Might work...

Go buy some rope caulk or electrical putty at Home Depot. It will be more than what you need but it will seal it up. David
