Default Driver's side cowl water drain

Anyone have any tips to reinstall this guy. I accidentally pushed it through when trying to clean it,and haven't had much luck getting it back into place with the steering column in the way.

I did the same thing and just kept after it until I could get a piece of it back through the top. Can't remember if I used needle nose or what but it took about 20 mins of jacking with it. I had the tire off and was guiding it from the wheel well.

I used a pair of double hinged needle nose pliers.

The reality is you can just leave it as is. The TSB had all of the drains removed and replaced with simple grommets that did not connect to anything. The only thing bad that can happen is if the hole gets clogged up.

Yes, I removed the entire drain per the TSB.

Do any of you have that TSB and could send it to me? I had planned on getting it from Renntech, but they no longer have TSBs on line. Google turned up nothing helpful.

TIA.
