I bought one about a year ago from TBD for about $10.  It lasted about a
month and then blew off/got stolen.  Haven't replaced it since.  Haven't
tried the margerine tub trick. Don't see the need, to be honest.

I wash the car every one to two weeks or so, plus the car sits outside in
the rain.  I have never had anything drain out of that drain plug.  Even
when the fridge has been running...  (and yes it is clear, because I can
blow air into it and into the combustion chamber....

My $0.02, FWIW
