Ashford,
Bud is correct, convex faces the forward so you can see it in the engine
firewall side.
As far as the installation, I just start at one edge and work my way around.
Sometimes you can just push the center if you are carefull. Also helpfull is
to work from the engine side and have a helping hand on the inside to prevent
the grommet from falling through the hole.
As far as size goes they should fit quite tight. Somewhere there is a guide
printed. Maybe it is in the archives.
