    If anything, I would drill a bigger hole. The stock diameter for drainage sucks!

    I have no idea!

    That would suck!

    If/when I buy a tonneau cover, at least I'll know the holes are already there.

    Anyone ever run wires up the drain hole? That’s not a euphemism. I have a cap and have it sealed pretty well. Think there is any harm in running a shielded wire up the old drain hole? My other option is drilling another hole but this seems like it would be pretty perfect. The wire is going to run along the frame, so I’m not super worried about water or the elements.

    If you have a canopy, you can just plug them with a removable rubber stopper to keep the dust out, and then remove the plug if and when you need a bit of drainage.
