Leak from the hood release lever

Every time I hit a deep puddle, I have water spray into my driver's side of the interior. I need to put a gromit in the area around cable for this lever. What is the easiest way to do this? Where can I get this gromit?

Try a Home Depot or Lowe's.

okay, thanx.

BTW, is there an easier way than tearing apart the the interior to get at it? It looks to me to be that only way to get at the hole where the gromit should be.

Thats the only way I can think of right now.
