Default ? about Rubber plugs under Car

I would like to know why are they there.I have to replace a torn one.I pretty sure something sharp on the road gash it out.Im a little worried that water on the streets might get in there and might possibly cause some sort of minor damage to the carpet or the sheet metal.(rust).

I know what you are talking about. You definitly need those. One of mine was dislodged, and when I pulled it out to fix it a bunch of water came out. You can temporarily patch it with duct tape.

I thought those were there to make it easier to run nitrous lines.

I actually had to use the plug in the rear.

I used to have a car cover, it rained, put the cover in the back and water was sitting there, like a good inch. Pulled the plug, drained out, let it air dry and it's perfect now.

They're designed as drain plugs for the tub. If I remember correctly, there are 4 in the back seat. One under each bucket seat, and one under the floor mat for each back seat. Can't remember if there are any for the front seat or not, and I think there's one for the trunk well. You have to replace them from inside the car the way they're designed... at least that's the easy way. I recommend pulling the seat cushions out to do it. It should just be 1 bolt in the front for each rear seat... I think it's a 13 or 15. GL.
