Default Running wires through drivers firewall.

I need to run some wires through the dash on the drivers side. I see a grommet with a harness through it but its almost impossible to get wires through. I have drilled some holes from the inside but i cant feed the wire s through its almost as if it is 2 layers.

Any tips?

Most people push the grommet through..They are double sided...and come to a V in the middle.

I would run the wires through the gromet on the pass side and cross them over. The gromet is just below the PCM. Once you get the PCM out, you will see the gromet. Push the wires through and then go up under the pass side of the dash and feel for the wires. You will not be able to see the gromet from the inside.
