If your referring to the holes in the underside of the body in the
"vertical" panel just behind the rear wheels and below the trunk floor, I
don't believe that these ever had plugs. My MK4 (I've had it since new)
never had these holes plugged - And no rust, just occasionally a little
crud that I clean out - If these were plugged on your car, I would offer
that possibly a DPO figured that they should be plugged and fitted them.
At any rate my suggestion would be to leave them out. Water rarely if ever
reaches this area in a direct spray as it is well shielded, and any that
would get in the area would quickly drain out -
