found my leak...aarrrgh

While pulling a clutch master on Saturday, I noticed a patch of light under the dash. I traced it to a firewall grommet, which had popped out towards the engine compartment. It turned out to be the grommet for the cruise control vacuum line.
Reaching the grommet to pull through from the footwell proved impossible, so I went at it from the engine compartment. The damn thing is under the brake master/ABS pump and blocked by wire harnesses. After moving the harnesses out of the way, I finally was able to squeeze my (weaker)left hand through to reach the grommet. It took at least 1/2 hour of pushing in a restricted space, but I finally got the groove in the grommet locked into the firewall.
Light leak found what a garden hose did not. I guess the forward movement of the car was needed to get the water to the grommet hole.
Floorboard is dry as a bone on a rainy New Jersey Monday. Back of hand well scratched up.
