Abstract
A vehicle door drain slot plug includes a base portion having opposing sides and opposing ends, the base portion being adapted to substantially cover the drain slot. First and second snap-tabs extend from the base portion near the opposing ends on one of the sides for securing the base portion with respect to the slot. A plurality of stand-off members extend from the one side of the base portion and are spaced about the periphery of the base portion for engaging the vehicle door to create a gap between the base portion and the vehicle door in order to allow water to drain out of the slot.
