What is the proper drain plug for the spare tire well and the side pockets in hatch? There is one drain hole in spare tire well and two in each side cubby hole not counting the ones for drain tubes.

Unless i missed it , PET has nothing. I have seen both of these styles but none show to fit the 944

If I had to guess, I'd say all three are part number 999 703 195 40 (since PET lists 3 of them on the car and I couldn't find anything like it in the side well diagrams). Then it looks like there is a second part originally from VW, #111 701 309, in the spare tire well (which looks like the 3d printed part you posted above).

Keen eyed Tom. Yes that second plug is printed and rather sure its for the spare tire. I somehow missed that in the PET, thx.

The flat plug… I had one of those in a side pocket but each pocket has 2 holes so that does not total to qty shown in PET. But I have found the flat plug listed in VW parts and makes sense for something like a body plug. Also the one in PET that I feel is the spare tire well plug matches the 15mm diameter. The side pocket holes are 10mm.
