Missing grommet?

There's a drainage hole under the spare tire in the rear. I was sure there used to be a grommet plugging it before, but I really can't remember. Should I plug that up for now, or is it better to be left open? I'm sure it's good for drainage, but being behind the rear wheel it must take in a lot of road junk. Anyone know?

On mine that hole is pretty small and I dont think I ever remember a grommet. it really doesnt collect much junk but if yours is larger then plug it, after all, how many midgets do you plan on carting around in the trunk who drink and need a hole to **** out of??
oh thats right people actually put groceries back there, well maybe youd better leave it open in case you have a case back there and have to run from the cops in a field and some bottles break. then it might come in usefull.

alright bye now.
