Tried my (non-broken) hand at 3d printing. Tailgate plugs

[Carp420]

Shattered my wrist so I was out of work for a month. Was going stir-crazy by the end of the first week, so I found a 3d printer with a bunch of spools on marketplace, talked him down to 80 bucks (8 spools, full or 3/4 full), and have been slowly learning my way around gcodes and stl files....Made a few phone holders and a ton of pot leaf earrings, finally made something useful for the Mave.

Now for some headrest hooks and another divider underneath the rear seat. Not too shabby for an old man

Those are vent holes to displace moist air from the tailgate. I wouldn't cover them unless I'm haulin' gravel or taking a trip to Yuma. I've washed back there many times and the tailgate is not waterproof. You want it to air out.

Theres 6 other holes along there, I figured any liquid would drain out there

I printed this one that has some slots in it, fit very well:
