Important product information

The starter cable travels from the starter motor and back towards the battery. The battery's often fixed beneath the rear seats, behind the back end of the floor pan and firewall. To run the cable to the battery, it's thread through the rear floor pan, via an opening. The opening will likely be rough around the edges, unfinished metal may wear on these important cables.


Protect your cables and battery and prevent a short circuit event, replace your grommet as soon as you see wear. The rubber provides insulation between the cables and metal, so if the wire is ever exposed, the grommet will prevent a live circuit from meeting the vehicle.

To fit the grommet to the opening, push the slit onto the exposed metal edge. Run your finger around to guide the grommet into position. Once fitted, the grommet should perfectly cover the opening in your floor pan.
