Title: battery vent part number
Post by: monty23psk on May 19, 2008, 08:07:40 PM

Hey guys,

I need help finding a part number. I have searched the etk and its hard to find this. I need the rubber grommet that holds the white battery vent box under the car battery tray in the trunk. I found the part number for the vent box but need this grommet.

My car was missing it and would like to get it.

thanks

try looking it up on http://www.realoem.com

If you still cannot find the part, go to your local parts store (NAPA, Pep Boys, Advance Auto, AutoZone, etc..) and look for where they sell the "HELP!" stuff (always red packages).  There is a package w/ rubber grommets of various sizes, or I believe you can also find individual grommets too.  Lowes, Ace Hardware & Home Depot also sell various sizes of rubber grommets in the section that has the pull out drawers that are full of different screws, bolts, nuts, fasteners, etc.

thanks. I did try realoem. its not there under the battery section or under the body panel section. I have see it in junk cards, but they are all corroded. I might try the dealer just to see if they know the part number. If that fails, I will have to go the hardware or auto store like you said. I will be painting that area with POR-15 first as it just has oxidation on the surface. No rust has started.

thanks.
