Since mine was already all together I decided to try it this way first. I first watched a video (
) online of the grommet being installed while the filler neck was already installed. I assumed it would be the same on an AD. I got the grommet all the way in on the top and the sides but the bottom just did not want to go in. I soaked it with Windex and then while the wife held the grommet in place I placed the ball of the hammer on the area that was not all the way in. While hitting the back of the ball-peen hammer with another hammer it finally popped into place. I just kept looking inside the cab after hitting it a few time to see if I was making any headway. The pic gives you a rough idea of how I was hitting the grommet.
