w123 trunk drains

As I was crawling under my 83 240D today I noticed that the holes draining the spare wheel well did not have any drain plugs in them. Are there supposed to be drain plugs and if so, where can they be purchased? Thanks.

John

I believe there is one plug and one drain. The plugs used to be rubber, but are now replaced with a flexible plastic cap that also fits some washer reservoirs.
The drain spout might be gotten from Fastlane (here) if they are still available.

The dealer has all of the plug and drain fittings for a few bucks.

Bgkast, would you know their part numbers? I need to get the rubber drain components completed. The one in my spare tire (rubber cover) needs to be recapped, and a chassis drain hole on the passenger side rocker panel needs a good replacement...

Sorry, I don't. I just bought some new plugs for my rocker drains. As long as you know what the plugs go to and what they look like the dealer should be able to find them. The parts computer has a picture and list of what each plug is used for, however the descriptions are not great...they must have been translated from German.
