Grommet

A grommet, comprising:

• a tubular body having a through-bore coaxially aligned with a body longitudinal central axis;
• a first flange integrally connected to the body and oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal central axis, the through-bore extending also through the first flange;
• multiple legs extending integrally from the body at a body free end oppositely positioned with respect to the flange, the legs deflectable toward a body longitudinal axis;
• and
• a service tab assembly positioned in the through-bore, the service tab assembly including:
• multiple tab extensions, each integrally connected to only one of the legs;
• and
• a pull tab positioned entirely in the through-bore in a non-extended position, and connected only to each of the tab extensions, the pull tab when displaced in a release direction acting through the tab extensions to equally inwardly displace each of the legs toward the longitudinal axis.

A grommet assembly, comprising:

• a grommet including:
• a tubular body having a bore coaxially aligned with a body longitudinal central axis;
• a flange integrally connected to the body, the bore extending also through the flange;
• multiple legs extending integrally from the tubular body;
• and
• a service tab assembly positioned entirely in the bore in a non-extended condition, the service tab assembly including:
• multiple tab extensions, each integrally connected to only one of the legs;
• and
• a pull tab connected only to each of the tab extensions;
• a vehicle component having an aperture, the tubular body slidingly received in the aperture until the flange contacts the vehicle component;
• and
• a vehicle body panel having a panel aperture, the legs extending through the panel aperture, the pull tab when displaced in a release direction acting through the tab extensions to equally inwardly displace each of the legs toward the longitudinal axis such that the legs are slidable through the panel aperture to release the grommet.
