What can i use to mack a watertight grommit??
i have a 97 A4 and when i did my system i cut out the little black grommit that was on the cable that pops the hood right next to the black fuse box. i dont have the system anymore, and i need to plug the hole or i cant take it otu in the rain b/c the car fills up with water due to the quater size hole. anyone have any ideas of what type of material i can use to make a grommit

when i bought my a4, i had an issue with water leaking into my car as well, and found that the gasket under the ecu box was bad. (now to the hopefully helpful part) what i used was black roofing caulk around the unsealing area. it's watertight, looks factory, and i've had no water problems to date (knock on wood) what i would suggest is cut a small piece of black plastic, then caulk or silicone it to the area where the hole is

ok thanks guys i already tried silicone, couldnt get the tip in far enough resulting in about 2inches of water in the back floor. i was thinking of trying great stuff but wasnt sure of it waterproofness. ill try it. and when u say black roofing caulk, you dont mean flashing cement do you???
