    Hi all,
    Vehicle is 2020 AC Sport MT. Part is plastic and in the bottom of the frame just ahead of the crossmember to the rear of the front wheels. It is plastic and fits in a square hole. Has an arrow pointing forward. The goons doing an inspection put the lift arm on it and broke it. What is it and what does it do? Drain maybe??? Sorry for the lousy pictures.

    Thanks.

    @robe689, Thank you Sir. Not a good spot for plastic parts IMO.

    It allows water out but stops dirt from entering.

    The FSM even specifically says to avoid these when lifting the vehicle (referred to as a 'resin component').

    Standard rule applies:

    A person only needs to be 3% smarter than the part for it to be servicable
