Front Hood Lock Release: Grommet

Make sure that the grommet is installed in the rear tie-down hole.

CAUTION: Make sure that the rear tie-down hole is firmly plugged with the grommet. Otherwise, dust, smell, etc. may come into the passenger compartment indirectly from the rear quarter, via the side sill from the rear tie-down hole.
