it's a pressfit grommet?

as long as the wire isn't rubbing metal it should be fine. use lots of silicone to make it watertight protect it better.

i believe you use these for running your power wire through the fire wall so the sharp metal edge do not cut threw the isolation of the wire those little grommets that come with the kits from places like wallmarts are the incorrect ones to use any ways here is the correct one to use
