Finding a hold in the firewall for power wire!!

[Car Splicer]

How did you get through the passenger side grommet? I read that one can poke a cut coat hanger through and then tape wire to coat hanger and run through. This being said, I found the grommet material too tough for my coat hanger. Do I have a different type of grommet or is there another method such as drilling?

It seems barbaric, but I rammed a screwdriver through the firewall side of the boot, then ran my 4 gauge wire through. I sealed the passenger compartment side with silicone.

Thanks for your input. I managed to find out there is rubber plug in way on 1997-2003 pontiac models. Pull out the plug inside of soft grommet and then poke screwdriver, coat hanger, or fibreglass stick through and run your your power wire through. Extra info for plug: I used screwdriver to pry it up then grabbed with pliers to pull out. It is split in two pieces. You will see when you pull it out.
