What to do, top down, heavy rain?

Point well-taken.

Believe me, I've given it considerable thought before I decided to drill that hole. I took into consideration all possible scenarios and the chances of those scenarios happening, and I concluded I'm better off with this. I haven't driven through a flooded street since GW Bush was in office. ah, the good-ol days! But I digress! Even then, I could have simply turned around.

But if I find myself in that situation with my Box and for some reason I cannot turn around, I'll just use one of my wife's hair pins, reach under and use it to pinch the tube shut.

Seriously, I'm not concerned about water coming up.

I'd turn around and go another route before I'd drive through that. Actually, I wouldn't even drive in that weather. However, in a pinch, no pun intended, the hairpin trick would work.

The drain plug is "an ounce of prevention" effort.
