i daily drive, rain or shine.

i took the threads advice on 1/8 and fixed my drain tube. today is 1/29 and my carpet is STILL drying out. whatever that foam stuff is, it traps moisture like mad! i kept my interior disassembled to check for any more leaks, and the leaks are definitely gone.. thats just residual water from the tube leak.

i checked my car and theres no panel covering the hole. im sure i have all my panels intact. my lowered car is about 5ish inches from the ground where that drain hole is, a good splash is definitely going to introduce water without the plug.

i popped mine out just to check it out.. it might be a molding plug, you'll notice the chassis has plugs all over it, front to back. most cars do, im assuming they're for manufacturing purposes or something similar.

if you dont daily drive in wet weather, its probably not a concern.. but for me, that plugs really close to water, and i know that foam doesnt dry out fast!

on a side note i applied a few sheets of sound deadening stuff behind the passanger seat only (i had it and was in there, might as well). covered about 80% of the passanger side only, and it made a pretty big difference. i was amazed that so little did so much! im gonna do it piece by piece to determine when adding more does nothing. if you're gonna be in there fixing drain tubes, might want to consider tossing in some sheets of sound deadening too. i probably added 1lbs so far.
