failed to get a new grommet... I'd suggest doing this..
Get a bicycle inner tube with right size (rather small), cut a piece about
3 or 4", slide it over the harness and position where the hole/grommet is,
tie it with zip ties on both end and pull the harness thru the hole... if
needed add another layer.
