Grommet help

[TN4x4Xterra]

Alright, I need help and would like one of the 2nd genners to go out and check with a ruler or something and tell me the diameter of the hole....I was doing a fuseblock mod last night and I accidently pushed in a grommet instead of pulling it out, and its fallen behind the firewall insulation and I'm not ripping that out plus the carpet to get it out so I'll need to go visit a local home improvement store more likely.

Its the small grommet on the drivers side near the steering on the firewall, right next to the big grommet when you look at it in the engine bay. There is nothing running through that small grommet so that shouldn't be to hard to find. I just need to know the guessimate size of the grommet so I won't buy a wrong grommet and etc. I'd like to try to stop by on the way home if possible and don't have a ruler/etc here at work.

If ya can help, I'd appreciate it!

If you need a pic, I can get you one.

I'm not sure if I measured the right thing.



If it's the little black thing above the main harness then that's about 3/4 "

Same hole as this one? The one where blue power wire is running out from?

Sent from Avalanche Tactical Response Command.

Wait, I missed the part where you said engine bay.

Yeah, I was talking about the grommet in the engine bay.

I'll just get 5/8" and 3/4".

Sounds like a good plan. I could look again later but I'm caught up inside now.

Picked up a kit that had different sizes of grommets. Home Depot was best place for it.

1/2" works for that hole. Its a tight fit but with little coaxing, it fit right in and is perfect for 4 gauge amp wire.

I finally pulled the carpet back and had to dig around the firewall insulation and found the stock rubber plug....not worth it and wish I just left it buried somewhere under carpet and not wasted time digging for it because the grommet from Home Depot was better quality.

Figured I'd update this as in case this happened to someone else.
