It's a noob topic I know but I'm just unable to install my fans with rubber grommets. It did work only with screws but thats kind of noisy.
How did you guys manage it ?

easy. Just put the 4 grommets through the hole. Then align the fan on the grommets and pull the grommets. then your fan is secured?

Nylon bolts and screws with a dab of 100% silicone caulk where the fan meets the case will also work fine. Apply the silicone caulk and then let it set up for 15-20 minutes before installing the fan, or else it will all squeeze out.

Put the grommets on the fan first case second. Make sure your fan has open corners or normal rubber fan mounts wont work.

pull slowly, and use a flat blade jeweler screw driver to help push the rubber through so you don't break the fan mounts.

I have holes in both sides of the fan. Do you put the grommets in the hole right next to the case hole or first in the outher hole of the fan ?
