Default Floor Pan Holes - Leaking!

Hi all,

Just drove the new toy (1984 XJS V12) 600km from Auckland to Blenheim (New Zealand) and noticed a bit of sweating in the cabin.

Lifted the carpets and noticed both sides of floor pan have 2 x holes in each side letting water in and wetting the carpets?

Does anyone know why the holes are there, or are they meant to have grommet plugs?

Lucky the pans are in good nick and I spotted this early.




Cheers

Possibly to secure the OEM Floor Mats, when She was new

I'm sure any holes in the floorboard were intended to be be sealed or have removable plugs.

Cheers
