Is the hole @ the absolute lowest point in the bucket?

Is the grommet tube held in place w/ a flange that "snaps" into place capturing the metal? If so perhaps a slit in the rubber to remove a part of the flange to admit the water will do it. Maybe some rust paint around the edge of the hole would help keep the metal sealed. I think that while the lights are on thay would help keep the interior dry but once you have turned the lights off...

I don't know about what Sherwood said, but the kazoo shape sounds like it would keep debris out better.

Since the factory part is easily available, why not just use that after all, as was said. Or is no drain tube even better? I guess if debris can get in the drain tube hole than it can get into the drain hole about as easly. Once again, it sounds like the factory may have it right.

Interesting little thread. I'll have to go and check and see if my car even has these!
