Was wondering if there was some magical way to get the rubber grommets /plugs, whatever you call them fitted back into the drain holes at the bottom of the rear panels??

I've tried and tried and can't get them it...there must be any easy way

Should be pretty easy, unless they are old and hard.

Hey Yella,

Fit new ones to mine a while ago and what I did was to wrap some thin but strong twine around the bit that goes through the hole, only wrap once, then I put both ends of the twin through the hole and while applying pressure from underneath I pulled on one end of the twine and by doing that the plug pulled itelf on, a little vaseline might help, but only a little.

Cheers

You'll all be please to know that the string and "hairgel" technique worked perfectly...no sikaflex required and no mixing up with the vaseline

thanks for your help
