I am thinking of taking a short piece of hard walled tubing and forcing it between the existing grommet and the sheetmetal, then sealing around it with silicone.

asside from drilling your own hole and installing your own grommet.... which there is actually plenty of places to punch through....
the factory harness grommet, which (as mentioned) is double walled and difficult to get through ... but i think if you went to the trouble of removing the fender liner, it would be WAY easier.

as posted earlier
the brake booster is behind the brake master cylinder. you canpush through the insulation from the outside with an inkpen. no need for tools if you use that hole.. provided you have an auto.
elsewhere, someone posted about finding a similar location on the passenger side. Cant be sure as I have not looked. On a side note, if you must drill, I would recommend the passenger side. There is nothing really in the way once you are below the HVAC stuff.

Here's the hole location for the mechanically challenged. It is the hole for the clutch master cylinder if you have the manual. I took this picture back in November when I was wiring up my remote radar detector. I still haven't sealed the hole yet so I hope I do before fording any streams this summer.....
i used that hole. i just popped the grommet out with a screwdriver, then cut a notch in it to run wires through, then put it back into place. running the wires through the grommet allowed me to not have to run loom through there to protect the wires from the sheet metal.
