Hi Sean. I wonder if the design changed at some point? In the attached image, you can see the split/groove between the 2 halves of the grommet and, when installed this groove fits so that each half of the grommet are on either side of the rear wing panel. It’s a very tight fit and there’s no room for an o-ring

Bit of a side issue. I think that the important thing, grommet or not, is isolating metals in the arieal from the aluminium bodywork of the car so as to avoid galvanic corrosion.
And then I wonder why some D2's had external arials and some did not.

The aerial/antenna is for the phone, so if it didn’t have a phone it didn’t need an aerial/antenna.
