Rubber Grommet 8x14x7
Sold each - 2 required per car
Restore the correct mounting and protection of your Porsche components with this Rubber Grommet (8x14x7), designed for selected Porsche 924, 944 and 968 models. Manufactured to original equipment specifications, this versatile rubber grommet is used in multiple factory applications, including mounting the rear wiper motor carrier plate on the Porsche 924, 944 and 968.
Although small and inexpensive, this rubber grommet plays an important role in reducing vibration, preventing wear and ensuring the secure routing or mounting of key components.
What Does the Rubber Grommet Do?
This OE Match rubber grommet provides cushioning, support and protection between components and the vehicle body.
Its functions vary depending on the application:
On Porsche 924 / 944 / 968:
- Supports the rear wiper motor carrier plate.
- Absorbs vibration from the rear wiper motor.
- Reduces noise transmitted into the bodywork.
- Maintains correct alignment of the rear wiper assembly.
Why Do Rubber Grommets Fail?
Rubber mounting components naturally deteriorate with age and environmental exposure. Common causes of failure include:
- Heat and age causing the rubber to harden.
- Cracking and splitting.
- Compression reducing elasticity.
- UV exposure where applicable.
- Oil, grease or chemical contamination.
- General wear after decades of service.
As the rubber deteriorates, it loses its flexibility and vibration-damping properties, allowing excessive movement, noise or wear to develop.
When Should the Rubber Grommet Be Replaced?
Replacement is recommended whenever the related component is removed or serviced, or if any of the following are found:
- Cracked or perished rubber.
- Loose mounting points.
- Flattened or compressed grommets.
- Increased vibration or rattling.
- Damaged fuel flap release cable support.
- During restoration or preventative maintenance.
Replacing ageing rubber grommets is an inexpensive way to restore factory fitment and protect surrounding components from unnecessary wear.
