I just ordered a set of 914rubber eyebrow grommets... is there a trick or tool for installing these things without a) piercing them with a screwdriver, or b) screaming words that young children shouldn't hear?
Also, how on earth do you get enough leverage to install the one that's inside the fender? |

Sorry, swearing is mandatory but piercing is not. +1 on lube. I prefer glycerine but soap does work. I used a the largest round and blunt punch I had that would fit inside the concave part of the grommet to push all the way through to engage the chassis and eyebrow. The grommets tolerated a surprising amount of stretch without tear or cutting so I was able to stretch them through.
