So I am at that stage ... deciding what to use to plug the drain holes in the XJ. Carpet is out, but not staying out. I have some OEM drain plugs, but I'm looking for something I can remove easily if the unthinkable should happen again. I will be using a closed cell foam padding (not bought yet) under the carpet, something that won't absorb water and will allow moisture to dissipate. I have a lot of questions because I want to do this "right".
- What is everyone using for drain plugs, and how do I decide what size to buy? I have holes that measure 1", but I bought some 1" plugs & they don't seem to fit.
- What is the best type to use for ease of removal?
- Are there plugs I can install with a type of "release" that comes up through the padding (or carpet) so I can get to it easily? Maybe be able to remove it without a tool?
- Are marine type plugs best? I looked at "bailing plugs" and I like the design, just not sure about the practicality for this purpose.
Any advice, tips, cautions? Pics would be great. Please ... don't tell me to forget the carpet & bedline the interior. That's not an option.
Will post pics in a few minutes of the 2 types of plugs I bought to try.
Thank in advance!
