What are the exact dimensions?

Troubleshooting
Grommet does not fit the hole.
Verify that you have the correct grommet for your specific vehicle model and the intended application. Cross-reference the OEM part numbers.
Screw does not thread into the nut properly.
Ensure the screw is the correct size and type for the grommet/nut. Check for any debris or damage inside the nut's threading. Try rotating the screw counter-clockwise slightly while applying pressure to engage the threads before tightening.
Grommet feels loose after installation.
The hole may be slightly worn. Ensure the grommet is fully seated. If the issue persists, a slightly larger grommet or alternative fastening method might be necessary, or the panel mounting point may need repair.
Nylon material appears brittle.
This can occur if stored improperly (e.g., extreme temperatures, UV exposure). Ensure new grommets are stored correctly. If the issue occurs with newly installed parts, it may indicate a defective batch or extreme environmental conditions.
