A soft member constituting the main portion, and a rigid member. The soft member has a loop rib integral therewith, and the rigid member has a loop base element almost entirely embedded in the rib. The base element has load pads spaced therealong for lockingly engaging the panel in which the grommet is positioned.

[ I claim:] [1.] A grommet for closing a penetration hole through a panel having an outer surface and an inner surface, the hole having an axis extending essentially perpendicular to the panel, the grommet when in position closing the hole having an outer surface and an inner surface oriented respectively to the outer surface and the inner surface of the panel, and having an axis positioned parallel with said axis through the penetration hole, said grommet comprising,a main soft member of Shore A softness, defining the peripheral limits of the grommet and constituting the largest portion of the grommet,the soft member having a central closing portion extending over the penetration hole when the grommet is in closing position, and having a continuous peripheral sealing element terminating in an outer peripheral sealing edge,the soft member including an integral rib on its inner surface similar in outline shape to the soft member and positioned closely adjacent to the peripheral sealing edge,a rigid member, of Shore D hardness, including a base element and having an outline shape similar to that of the rib, and including load pads distributed along the base element, the base element being entirely embedded in the rib and the load pads being exposed to the exterior of the rib, and the rigid member being thereby effectively embedded in the rib,the base element and the load pads being contained within the limits of the rib in radial direction, andthe grommet when in closing position being so positioned that the peripheral sealing element and the load pads engage respective ones of said surfaces of the panel and thereby lockingly and sealingly hold the grommet in place in closing position,the rib forming a skin surrounding the entire rigid base element between the load pads.
