But you do need to locate how the water got in there or you will be removing your plug to drain again.

The only place it could have gotten in was the sun roof. I pulled down the headliner n 2 out of 4 drain hoses was disconnected, so i went to reconnect them and they wouldn't stay put. So i decided to disconnect the power to the sunroof and used black permatex to seal the sunroof closed permanently. I had to find the cheapest way possible to fix the car because i was out of work for 98 percent of 2020, i work in the restaurant business and end of January 2020 i shattered my ankle then covid hit and it took almost all the hours i would have worked. We gotta do what we can right?

Есть такая игрушка - полиморфный пластик. Дети используют его для творчества и развлечения. Взрослые иногда обращаются к этому, чтобы решить неотложные проблемы, например, сделать пробку для быстрого слива.
Я уверен, что в США это продается где-нибудь в магазине игрушек или в отделе рукоделия вместе с вышивкой и фигурками для сборки.
Вот видео, для работы нужен только чайник с кипятком.
Сливную пробку любого размера и конфигурации можно изготовить за пару минут.

I'm glad you liked it.
I keep this plastic in my mind in case I need to urgently solve a problem. I once saw a clutch cover on a bike made of polymorphic plastic instead of a broken one when dropped.

I probably woulda glued on a lid from a tomato paste can with whatever caulk or goop was within reach. Maybe a squirt of spray paint to finish.
