Custom Drain Plugs
Where is a safe place in the cabin for a few drain holes? I need one in front of each front seat, and two for the rear bench. I herculined the whole enterior and it never accord to me how much water would accumulate from snow. So i need to drill (probably 1/2 inch) a few holes.
I will probably just plug them grommet style to make it easy, im just afraid to drill into something important

Anywhere is fine to drill.
I suggest parking on a level ground.
Spray a gallon or 2 of water in the floorboard, and see where it accumulates the most, and drill in that spot.

If you can though, avoid putting the drain hole over the frame rail. It may lead to future rust issues
