TOYOTA 90189-06211 Screw Grommet

The genuine TOYOTA (SKU: 90189-06211) screw grommet is a premium-quality, durable fastener designed specifically for the secure and vibration-free mounting of vehicle body and interior components. This compact yet critical component ensures that mounting screws hold securely even in thin sheet metal sections, preventing stripped threads and loose panels.

Technical Features

The screw grommet is manufactured from high-grade, automotive-grade plastic (typically high-density polyamide or POM). This material offers outstanding wear resistance, elasticity, and excellent chemical and thermal resistance, allowing it to withstand extreme environmental conditions in the engine bay or wheel arches.

• Design: Expansion sleeve that expands inside the mounting hole as the screw is driven in, delivering maximum retention force.
• Vibration Damping: Absorbs driving vibrations, preventing rattles and unwanted noise (NVH reduction).
• Corrosion Protection: Eliminates direct metal-to-metal contact at the screw, minimizing the risk of galvanic corrosion on body panels.

Applications and Wear

These grommets are commonly used to fasten bumpers, fender liners (splash shields), rocker panel trims, engine covers, as well as various interior trim panels and dashboard components. Over time, temperature fluctuations and UV exposure can cause the plastic to age, becoming brittle and prone to cracking.

Common symptoms of wear or failure:

• Loose or rattling body panels and covers.
• Cracking or breaking of the grommet during disassembly (often single-use during maintenance).
• Stripped screw threads inside the grommet, resulting in lost clamping force.

Using genuine TOYOTA components guarantees an exact fit and OEM durability, eliminating fastening issues caused by incorrectly sized or inferior aftermarket clips.
