Subject:      why are these plugs here?
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

hey all,
i am pulling all my camping stuff on my 87 syncro westy to do some early
spring cleaning/inspection etc...  i had some interesting discoveries.  One
is when i pulled the fiberglass insulation from the panels that are directly
in front of both rear tires, not only was the insulation soaked but a good
puddle of water was in the bottom of these panels.  So kinda stumped i
noticed that if you look towards the front of onside the rear tires wells,
there are two plastic plugs there.  one plug is numbered b 243.  What are
these for?  holding in water?  I took them out as it seems to me this would
be a good weeping area.  Now oddly enough if the top plug, which could also
be accessed from inside the panel section, was intended for a weep hole, why
is it about 1.5 inch above the lowest point?  you would have to be driving
up a steep hill to allow water to run out of this area.  Now, why do I have
water and mudd in the bottom of this panel to begin with?  My window seal
are all brand new and the tops of the fiberglass insulation was dry,
leadingme to think this is water coming up from the bottom but where and how
do I get rid of it before it starts rusting???
any help here would be great
