Where is the car chassis waterproof plug located?

Under the vehicle chassis. Below is an introduction about the car chassis: 1. Introduction: The car chassis consists of four parts: the transmission system, the running system, the steering system, and the braking system. The function of the chassis is to support and install the car engine and its various components and assemblies, forming the overall shape of the car, receiving the power from the engine to make the car move and ensuring normal driving. 2. Methods to protect the car chassis: (1) If you feel that the protection area of the engine guard is too small, you may consider spraying a layer of chassis armor for the vehicle chassis. (2) Install an engine guard. The engine guard can protect the engine from being hit by road gravel and scraped by foreign objects, but this practical configuration is not available for all car models.
I've been driving for fifteen years and have actually encountered issues with the chassis waterproof plugs. Just last month after a rain, I noticed a musty smell in the car. When I took it to the repair shop and had it lifted, I found that the drain plug under the rear seat had shifted. The mechanic said these rubber plugs are mainly located in the grooves of the frame rails, the inner side of the door sills, and near the rear wheel arches. They're made of rubber and shaped like little mushrooms. High-pressure car washes can easily dislodge them, especially in older cars. If you can't find the original parts, you can cut a piece of bicycle inner tube as a temporary fix, but it's best to get specialized plugs from a dealership. Otherwise, water entering the chassis can cause the frame rails to rust through.
