I was a bit stupid to understand the aux wiring and while installing internal lights in my cabin, I wired it directly via that oval shaped rubber cap (firewall?) directly into the hood and to the aux switch itself, instead of relying on the ready wiring underneath the gloves box.

Feeling like bad engineering, I wonder if there is anywhere to get that rubber ring and replace it with a new one without my tiny hole I made in it for my wire?

The wire is sealing the cap from liquid, its a tiny hole and the wire is filling it entirely, but I just feel like I made an unneccessary mistake which I want to fix.

If you are talking about the oval plug next to brake reservoir and factory wiring harness… MB3Z-7K529-A. That’s the plug that blocks the hole normally used for the clutch pedal on the manual trans. It’s not actually intended for you to pass wires through.

If you are talking about the grommet that the factory wiring harness passes through… black RTV and a dose of fuhgeddaboudit.

Yes thats MB3Z-7K529-A which Im talking about, nice!
But I dont see anywhere that ships it worldwide right now, only to US, so maybe the black rtv patch is good enough?

Lucky you have one...mine was missing from the factory, luckily haven't needed to go to the dealer for anything important - so it is just an extra ventilation hole. :LOL:

Doesnt it mean water can come inside in case of a deep crossing?

Absolutely, but I can assure you I won't be going through any water that deep.
