I'm trying to figure out what is supposed to plug the hole the arrow is pointing to. I'm pretty sure I have the right bits in the other holes and they are as follows:

My bet would be that a second drain tube (3) goes in that rear hole but 914rubber only includes one in their full restoration kit. I have a mystery third bumper (1) with an offset post that I thought I harvested from a donor trunk, but maybe it goes in that hole to keep the spare tire elevated slightly off the trunk floor. Anyone know the correct widget for that spot? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Thanks again Tom. A set of those stoppers are included in the kit and most of my originals are still good, so I'm swimming in them now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I just need that other drain tube and a pair of turn signal boots (which are on their way) and my frunk will be hermetically sealed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I checked Sunset's price on the drain tube. It is double what 914Rubber wants so I'll just order another repop.

I have the factory manual on CD so will take a look.

So here's a question for you: is the drain tube supposed to be oriented with the narrow edge forward so it is most streamlined, or wide side forward so air forms a vacuum when the car is moving to suck the water out. I think it is the latter but curious if it is settled law. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
