While I have been very impressed with MB engineering, fit and finish as I've worked through this project, there are a couple of things that have been lacking, IMHO. One of them is the AC condensate drains. The originals are delicate foam with springs inside to support them. You can see the remains of one in the first photo. You can also see the consequences of it leaking onto the floor under the mats. I went to Lowe's plumbing dept and bought some plastic tubing, 3/4"ID and 1"OD. See the second photo. The fit is perfect. Be sure to warm the hose up a bit in hot water and installation is a snap. I am confident that this will not leak. Cost was $1.13 total as opposed to about $11 per side for the original foam hoses.
