I am trying to identify this part for a 2000 Chrysler Cirrus.
It is a rubber boot that carries the wiring from under the rear window, to the trunk lid. The old one has cracked, and fallen apart.
I went to the dealer and looked at the exploded parts diagham on the computer, and it doesn't show it.
Doe anyone know what this part is called, and have a P/N for it?
Thanks,
KM
This doesn't help you, but I'm thinking it would come with the harness, not as a separate part. Possibly it has to be put onto the harness bundle before the connector bodies are put on.
Maybe cut some wiring out of a junk yard car and splice it in?
I have to agree with Bill that it is probably part of the wiring harness and can not be purchased separate. However I disagree about cutting the wires and splice them in from a used juck yard part. Any time you have to spice you are just asking for problems to occur.
What I would do is look to purchase a plastic wire loom that is the right size for the wires. This can be purchased in most auto parts place. A plastic wire loom is the corrogated plastic that has a split down one side so that you can place it over the wire. It is self closing but can then be cabled tied closed or electrical taped to ensure it stays closed on the ends.
See link for an idea what I am speaking about.

Thanks for all the replies. I agree that it is probably part of the wire harness for the trunk, and that is why it doesn't show up in the parts listing.
I could probably cut the ends off of this "boot" so that they can stay and continue to work as "grommets" where they connect to the trunk lid and panel.
I could then use the wirewrap to cover the wires between the boot ends. It will protect the wire, and look pretty close to the correct part.

Depends on who does the splicing and how they do it (i.e., solder and double shrink wrap with the splice back in a part that isn't exposed to the elements and doesn't get flexed with trunk lid opening/closing, for example). :)
Yeah - the loom idea wouldn't be bad.
