    Hey everyone! I can't seem to find what this part is called, it's ripped from the back and i need to replace it. I know cables run through the back, so how would i go and replace it? Thanks in advanced! It's a Prius 2006.

    Needs some perspective. What part of the car are we looking at?

    Looks like you would have to redo all the wiring.

    What happened, that s an unusual part

    When the people installed a rear license plate, they decided it was easier to cut through the back and not tell me about it.... Is it plug and play or is it harder to disconnect those cables?

    Ouch. Idk, you probably have to pull off the interior to have a look. Wiper, washer, lights, camera?

    Grommet is a good name for it, I'd slice it and fit it over the wires then use silicone caulking to seal it back up, I'd also wrap the wires with electrical tape, the washer line isn't in it, just the electric wires for the brake lights, turn signals and license plate on the rear hatch.
    You many find when looking connections that come apart.

    I would call that part an electrical wire boot, kind of generic.

    What does that wiring harness have to do with the licence plate?

    Thats going to be a very difficult repair depending on how close they cut the wires to the roof of the car.
