I'm not sure if there are supposed to be rubber plugs covering up these 2 holes in my driver side front wheel well. The passenger side doesn't have these open holes.

I'll look at mine but I wouldn't be worried. They look normal.

Just cleaned wells as I can still see the water drops. Looks Good!

Thank you spyerx and Grizfish for the quick replies! If you both don't have plugs in there too then it must be intentional to have these openings

Just finished a corrosion protection project that involved spraying a parafin based wax. Spraying down all 4 wheel wells took < an hour but cleaning wheel wells took all day.

I think you missed a tiny spot of dirt. Try Dri-Wash
