Drain hole/weep hole covers needed
Does anyone know where I can get replacement drain hole/weep hole covers for my 91 LD? I've called several places, including LD and no one has them. I'd even accept something that is almost the right size and use adhesive if necessary.  Has anyone just gone without the covers? Does it cause any problems like leaking windows?

Why cover or plug the weep holes? The holes can be kept clear by using a “craft stick” or popsicle stick to ream out any accumulated dirt that might be trapping water in the track. The tracks can also be blown out using compressed air.

If you decide to plug the holes, do make sure  that the tracks are clean and dry before doing so.

YMMV, as always.

"...drain hole/weep hole covers ..."

I'm of the same thought as Joan, why would you want to 'plug' a weep hole?

When, or if, condensation forms on the inside of the windows and runs into the lower window track you need a way for the moisture to exit the RV. That's the whole reason for 'weep holes'. It would be counter productive to plug them!   ::)

I'm trying to replace the originals. The covers don't “plug” the holes, they are open on the bottom and act as a top shield. These are covers, not plugs. See pics.

Quote from: Joan  - 
I had not seen the covers, just plugs. Is this what might work?

Thanks, Joan. These are close in measurement and may work. I had seen these in my search but was repelled by the $6.27 each price tag considering that I have 16 weep holes. I was hoping to find the ones that sold for .50 each....I have two chances, right? Fat and slim. Lol.

I just checked with Pelland. To order one to try it will be $16.77 when fees and shipping are added in. Yikes!

I get it; I experience “price repulsion” every day! 🥴

Rain hitting the windows drains into the tracks and out the weep holes, with or without the covers. Easier to keep them clean with the covers off.
