McMuttley Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 I have managed to fit the new grommets using the tapred bolt crushing technique, but some seem to be able to push flat the washer to lock it in. I have tried using thumbs either side, also pushing with a wide socket, without success. Do I need to buy a few tins of spinach, or is there a secret technique ?

Tom Boyd Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Small hammer on top side, socket over the washer and use another hammer. An extra pair of hands come in useful ???? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

McMuttley Posted March 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Done as advised - many thanks - are they meant to be rattly ? Am I allow to address the rattle with sealant, or does that risk creating a water / rust trap ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foster461 Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 They are a loose fit in the alu gromet so they rattle by design when the bonnet is not fastened down. They should not rattle when the bonnet is fastened or at least rattle less. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
