Flaps? I don't need no stinking flaps. Both my Spits have a drain tube
that routes the water in front of the ledge instead of into it.
Now the gaiter that terminates the end of the curved tube is another matter.
Those things are quite dear and also (I believe) have never been reproduced.

The heater drain flap is a push-fit into a slot in the bodywork, there
should be no need for glue.
As far as I am aware, the flap has not been reproduced by any manufacturer,
at least not on the British side of the Atlantic. I have the flaps earmarked
as a new product for this winter, let me know if you find a source in the
meantime as I've no desire to invest time and money in re-inventing the
wheel! Buying a few hundred at a time from another supplier would be a
better option than commissioning a batch of thousands,
Cheers,
Bill.
