Ugh! That’s not good. Hope we get an accessory soon or someone shares a 3D file to print a cap for that hole.

I got some 21 mm silicone caps that I ordered.

Prior to getting them installed after delivery, we had some rain in my area.

I found some rain water already pooled in the threads.

I extracted the water, air dried the threads and applied some moisture clear coat on them prior to installing the silicone caps.

What is supposed to screw into those threads? What is that used for? Thanks!
