Grommet

1. A grommet, comprising:

a body defining a longitudinal axis and having a passageway therein;

a collar extending from the body and away from the longitudinal axis;

a box prong extending at least partially around the body; and

a plurality of openings extending through at least the box prong, wherein the plurality of openings separates the box prong into a plurality of segments.

2. The grommet of claim 1 , wherein the grommet is configured to attach within a slot of a component in any rotational orientation about the longitudinal axis.

3. The grommet of claim 2 , wherein the slot is a non-circular slot.

4. The grommet of claim 1 , wherein the box prong extends circumferentially around the body.

5. The grommet of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of openings extend through at least the box prong at diametrically opposed front and rear sides of the body, and

wherein the plurality of openings are aligned with each other on the diametrically opposed front and rear sides of the body.

6. The grommet of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of openings extend through a wall of the body.

7. A grommet, comprising:

a body defining a longitudinal axis and having an inner wall;

a box prong extending outwardly from the body; and

a plurality of openings extending through the box prong and the body, each of the plurality of openings comprising an elongated section and a top section;

wherein at least one of the top sections comprises a width W 1 and at least one of the elongate sections comprises a width W 2 , and

wherein the width W 1 is larger than the width W 2 .

8. The grommet of claim 7 , wherein the grommet is configured to attach to a component through a non-circular slot.

9. The grommet of claim 7 , wherein the elongated sections extend through the box prong, and

wherein the top sections extend through at least the body of the grommet.

10. The grommet of claim 9 , wherein the top sections also extend into an upper end of the grommet.

11. The grommet of claim 7 , wherein at least two of the top sections comprise the width W 1 and at least two of the elongate sections comprise the width W 2 .

12. The grommet of claim 7 , wherein a cutout extends into the box prong on diametrically opposed sides of the box prong.

13. A fastening system, comprising:

a grommet, including:

a body defining a longitudinal axis and having a passageway therein;

a box prong;

a plurality of openings extending through at least the box prong at diametrically opposite sides;

at least one window defining an opening within the body;

a cutout extending into the box prong below the at least one window; and

a first component comprising a slot extending therethrough, wherein the grommet is configured to attach to the first component through the slot.

14. The fastening system of claim 13 , wherein the slot of the first component is a non-circular slot.

15. The fastening system of claim 13 , wherein the at least one window comprises a central segment and a top portion that is defined by intermediate sides of the body.

16. The fastening system of claim 15 , wherein the grommet further comprises a collar extending from the body and away from the longitudinal axis, and

wherein the top portion of the at least one window extends through the collar.

17. The fastening system of claim 13 , wherein the fastening system further comprises a pin configured to extend through the passageway.

18. The fastening system of claim 17 , wherein the pin is configured to attach to the grommet, and

wherein a second component is attached to the pin.

19. The fastening system of claim 17 , wherein the grommet comprises a plurality of legs extending from the body of the grommet, and

wherein the plurality of legs are configured to pivot about flexure joints that connect the legs with the body as the pin is moved through the passageway.
