Lost rubber grommet going through firewall.
Ok just recently I installed a boost guage and ran my hose through the hole near the passenger side firewall behind the glovebox. I popped the grommet out from the engine bay and I never saw it again. The hole is nearly impossible to reach so it's also impossible to measure. Does anyone know if I can pick this part up from the dealer or know of the hole diameter so I can pick up a replacement from the hardware store? It bothers me that I have no grommet and I know it's somewhere behind the ecu/ blower motor but I'm not going to pull all of it apart to find it.

I took mine out. It's easier to get to that from the engine bay.
Honestly, I lost mine a year ago, it really didn't effect much.
Then I was cleaning my car and it somehow rolled out and was stuck behind the glove box about 4 months ago.
But honestly, it's pia. I'll leave it out, unless you really really want it in.
I think it was around an inch or so... there is a thread on here from a year or so ago on how to get to it, how to get it out, put it in. They basically made a little tool that grabs the grommet...
I don't think it's worth the trouble.

Same here, I lost the grommet when I was installing my boost gauge, 2 months later I found it when I was replacing my speakers (running better wires), it was behind the kickpanel.

You know I'm glad both of you guys told me that. I was thinking it was behind there initially and I couldn't get the panel off. I popped the plastic pin out and I took off the plastic screw near the floor top and I couldn't manuever it out. It was getting stuck on the door sill plate. I was able to feel underneath the kick panel and I could fee the grommet but may be it is back there.
