Square loom in a round hole?

[Ozzie]

Hi folks.
Does anyone make sense of this?
I sourced out the lower edge trim for the lower portion of the A pillar. They have the holes for the courtesy switch and then a round hole below it. But the loom for the front door wiring harness needs a squarish hole.. do I dremel l to shape?

You can change the shape if you want, you just have the older part. There is a newer one with the square hole. note that the hole in the bulkhead needs to match.

As Jim said, that's a 2002+ grommet. You can use the AMR3963 grommet instead which has round holes, but it is a bit long

 

[JimC]

Yes, you just run the excess grommet into the door. If you try to install both ends then it binds up when you close the door.

Hmm i didn't know that. I love this community. Thank you folks.
Does anyone know the correct part number for the trim?
I have the OEM puma wire harness for the pwr wondows /cdl that has this same square end on it.

Thank you.

Just spoke to Arthur over at Rovers North and apparently the correct part is not available , Some of the others that show up are smooth with the holes at all. so I guess it's just as well I will dremel out the correct size hole and report back.
I think a visit to Surfside 4x4 in Pompano is in order to try to find one with the rectangular hole and measure it out for size.
