Rubber Grommet 1J0955998C
Windshield washer hose grommets are small, unsung heroes of the automotive world! These humble rubber rings play a crucial role in keeping your windshield washer system functioning smoothly and preventing leaks. Here’s a deep dive into their world:
Function:
- Sealing: They create a watertight seal around the windshield washer hose where it passes through the car body, preventing precious washer fluid from escaping.
- Protection: They cushion the hose from rubbing against the metal body, preventing wear and tear that could lead to leaks.
Types:
- Single-hole grommets: These are the most common type, fitting around a single washer hose.
- Double-hole grommets: Some models have two hoses, requiring grommets with two holes for both the supply and return lines.
- Grommet holders: Some cars use plastic holders that secure the grommet in place.
Materials:
- Rubber: The most common material, offering good flexibility, durability, and heat resistance.
- Silicone: Some high-performance grommets use silicone for even better heat resistance and longevity.
Benefits of using good rubber grommets:
- Prevents leaks: Leaky washer fluid can be annoying and messy, and can even damage interior components.
- Maintains pressure: A good seal ensures proper pressure in the washer system, leading to effective cleaning.
- Protects the hose: Extends the life of the washer hose by preventing wear and tear.
- Reduces noise: A snug fit can help dampen vibrations and reduce noise from the washer pump.
