Topic: Headlight Dimmer Carpet Grommet ?

[rocnhrse]

Just  installing  my carpet, was there  a  grommet  used around  the light dimmer  switch, cant seem to find a photo  of a original installation, thanks  for any information given

you will not find one on an original. the grommet was not used. it is something the aftermarket chose to include in the carpet kits. i have deducted points several times for just that item.

Do you mean the "Ooops-Fixer" carpet grommet?

Original carpet installations around the dimmer were a lot "neater" than the current cuts. It's a toss-up, "neat", or a point.
Purists need not respond.

........................... cant seem to find a photo  of a original installation,

You likely will not though many unrestored cars have had the carpet replaced back early in their lives.

This is the carpet I have pullet out of my car.
The hole for the dimmer switch has a diameter of 24-25 mm.
In attachment the dimension for the X-Axis and also the dimension for the Y-Axis.
Hope this helps a bit...
Kind regards,
Jeroen
