Rear door drain grommets????

I recall these are a very difficult part to find on the parts system. A case of showing one to the partsman at a dealer.

Also I recall something about many Vees having one or more missing even from new. Probably for a good reason.


Show us your grommets everyone!

Good call...

Could it be a 7703074082?

 

[DaveL485]

Take the one out you have, see if it has a p/n stamped on it.

Also I would probably hit up a scrappy and steal one off a breaker clio, these wont be unique to the V6.

Ordered some from Renault, £2.20 for 2

Care to share the part number?

 

[clarkey.lee21]

As above 7703074082 thats whats on the invoice from Renault, have not collected them yet, if they are the wrong items I will let you know.

So these items fit as shown there is a drain connected to a tube, maybe for the wash wipe??

Are they supposed to block the holes in the trunk lid? I thought they were some more drain holes like the one on the right in the picture.

 

[clarkey.lee21]

Not too sure if they are meant to be blanked or not...!!!

 

[Tannman]

Don’t blank the holes off lee, water needs to escape otherwise will just sit inside. :approve:

Had ours from new, never had grommets fitted, just the one off centre which i always presumed was some drain from wash wipe.
The trouble with grommets at the bottom of panels is they still allow a couple of mm of water to sit in there as water has annoying habit of going downhill (capillery action aside) and wont climb over the edge of the grommet.
I had the rear door of Porsche replaced under warranty due to corrosion from the inside a couple years ago.
If the tailgate has lasted this time without grommets i’d be tempted to remove them or at least pull them out occassionally.

Good call....
Although hopefully car will not ever see the wet....
I'll take them out asap....

See our Facebook pictures group for a wee video of the tailgate.
