Little grommet question

[dominic]

Hi,
I have a drip coming down from the edge of the roof, above the rear door, onto the carpet of the cargo hatch.
The water was dripping from the left edge of the headlining centre outer trim, which can be pulled down.
I took it off and the water seems to be coming from the rubber grommet which the wiring loom goes through.
I would be grateful if someone could look at my photo of the grommet and tell me if the groove around the bottom of the grommet (need to look closely), should actually be going around the edge of the metal instead of where it is.
(On the inside of the grommet, at the bottom, there is an inner groove which fits around the edge of a plastic fitting)
Hope I have explained it properly!
Thanks,
Dominic.

sounds like the infamous third brake light leak. do a search. lots of info on fixes.

x2 on brake light, and your grommet is seated correctly, I was just playing with that one running wires for a camera.

Cheers boys! Now that I know the grommet is OK, I will delve further! Thanks.

The other spot is in the pic, the rear washer hose, and it looks like it's leaking!

You may well be right!
I looked today, at the area. ( not that spot in particular ).
Was concentrating on the third brake light and, unless I'm stupid, it couldn't be that,
because the brake light is on the actual door. The water wasn't dripping from the door, it was dripping from the edge of the interior trim at the top of the actual frame of the cargo opening just underneath where the wiring loom and the washer holes are.
Cheers.
