Sealing Plug
A sealing plug for sealing a hole in a plate to be sealed comprising: an operating part; a base body comprising a neck ring and a tapered ring, the neck ring comprises an annular sealing surface on an outer circumferential surface thereof, and the base body is configured to be movable towards or away from the operating part around a bottom part of the tapered ring; an upper support lip; and a lower support lip; the sealing plug is configured to seal the hole in the plate to be sealed through the annular sealing surface. The sealing plug forms a sealing structure by means of press fitting between a hole edge of the plate to be sealed and the annular sealing surface on the outer circumferential surface of the neck ring. The sealing structure of the sealing plug is irrelevant with the deformation of the upper support lip, and therefore does not affect an insertion force required to insert the sealing plug into the hole. The amount of interference between the hole edge of the plate to be sealed and the annular sealing surface of the sealing plug may be adjusted according to the requirement for a waterproof pressure.
WATER DRAINAGE ARRANGEMENT FOR A VEHICLE
The present disclosure relates to a water drain arrangement for a body of a vehicle. The water drain arrangement includes a drain channel, a tubular feed-through device extending through a first opening of a first wall panel of the body and a second opening of a second wall panel of the body. The water drain arrangement includes a body shell-fixed sleeve extending through the first shell opening of the first wall panel and is coupled to the first wall panel in a fluid-tight manner. A first end of the feed-through device is inserted through a first end of the body shell-fixed sleeve and includes a drain extending through a second end of the feed-through device. A free end of the drain channel is held in a fluid-tight manner in a seat of the feed-through device, which is disposed at a second end of the feed-through device.

Hole plug attachment structure
A hole plug attachment structure includes: a first attachment-target member is formed with a first attachment hole; a second attachment-target member is formed with a second attachment hole; and a hole plug that includes a tube-shaped outer peripheral wall, a blocking portion, a ring shaped flange jutting out toward a radial direction outer side of the outer peripheral wall from an end portion of the outer peripheral wall on an opposite side from an insertion direction so as to cover a location surrounding the second attachment hole, and a hook portion, a location of the flange that abuts an edge of the second attachment hole being thicker than a location of the flange that abuts the edge of the first attachment hole, in a state in which a back face of the flange abuts both the edge of the first attachment hole and the edge of the second attachment hole.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING AN ENGINE BAY PROTECTOR
An engine bay protector to protect the vehicle engine from intrusion of liquid through an engine ventilation opening. The engine bay protector is formed with any waterproof material, including silicone. The engine bay protector has a width, length, and thickness that corresponds with the dimensions of the engine ventilation opening that is to be covered. The engine bay protector has sufficient weight to resist movement during rain and car wash and will remain on the engine ventilation opening after placing over the engine ventilation opening during the rain and car wash.

Hole plug
A hole plug includes: a tube-shaped outer peripheral wall configured to be inserted into an attachment hole formed in an attachment-target member; a blocking portion-close off the inside of the outer peripheral wall; a ring-shaped flange that juts out toward a radial direction outer side of the outer peripheral wall from an end portion of the outer peripheral wall on an opposite side from an insertion direction so as to cover a location surrounding the attachment hole; a hook portion engage with an edge of the attachment hole; and a plurality of recess portions that are formed at a front face of a base end portion of the flange at intervals around a circumferential direction of the flange, each of the recess portions including a bottom portion with a planar face profile or a curved face profile.

Sealing device
Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a sealing device that includes a locking pin, (2) an insert, and (3) a grommet.
Light weight hole plug
A hole plug includes a main body having an inner surface, a perimeter, and which further includes a center axis that is substantially perpendicular to the inner surface and defines an axial direction. Additionally, a securing member extends axially from the inner surface and includes a base directly secured to the inner surface of the main body and a cantilevered protuberance at least partially axially spaced from the inner surface. Furthermore, the protuberance at least partially extends along a circumferential path that is a parallel curve of the perimeter positioned inward from the perimeter.
