Grommets - Repair/Replacement And Additional Circuits

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Jaguar XE and 2019 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Solid (over moulded) grommets are non-repairable and must be replaced by the installation of a new harness. Grommets with plastic inserts for panel retention - the inserts can be removed and replaced where necessary.

EPDM (Rubber) grommets: if the grommet is damaged then a 1 off attempt to repair with a suitable automotive grade silicon sealant is allowed. When the repair is completed, test for leaks (noise/fumes/water). If this fails to seal then the harness must be replaced.

If any vehicle accessories are added that require additional wires/circuits to pass through a sealed grommet then these must be routed through the service nipple. The service nipple must then be sealed using a suitable automotive grade silicon sealant and secured as shown below.
