Upon delivery of my '06 coupe the bag of plugs and plate bracket plus tool were left in a ripped open bag in the trunk. Logic told me that the holes were for transport tie downs either during shipment or on a rollback. If left out the holes will only allow water to accumulate in the box frame. I was glad the "stealer" left them out as his knuckle draggers would have probably only put them half way in, therefore allowing them to fall out, or maybe just thrown them away.

I put a little grease on them and pushed them in with no problem (with wheels on). I was glad they left the license bracket off also after seeing the enormous (about # 20) sheet metal screws they used on the rear, thereby distorting the metal as they tightened them in the holes they drilled or punched (out of level) in the rear panel, as no bracket was provided in the rear. I've been buying cars for close to 50 years and try to avoid the dealers service department, unless absolutely necessary. They never improve, but only get worse. I intend to pass, on their 6 free oil changes (and do my own) as 5 will get you ten they will never change the filter, and who knows what kind of oil they will use.
