What's the point of the little plastic plugs in the trunk bed?
There are three of them under the foam liner. (well actually, I only have two... anyone know where I can find one? I know they are not needed, but I want to make this car as "complete" as possible). Why did Porsche bother designing these holes and then design plugs for them? Drain holes in case I want to use the trunk as a kiddy pool? Also, one is a bit smaller than the other two, and appears to be threaded. Have a plug you can spare? Thanks! . Attached image(s) |

My guess is to keep junk or moisture from falling into the cross member cavity. The holes were probably needed for the venting of the welding gasses during assembly of the chassis? Or to allow paint-primer to get into the cavity? This is just a guess.
