Fantastic, thanks for the update. Can you share a pic of your set up when you get a chance? I may do the same thing.This doesn't answer your question directly, but it might work for you.
I have the "from the factory" Mopar floor mats ... all the fancy ridges, but no red lettering. Removed the carpet piece and stuck a second set of drain pan plugs into the floor ... that guarantees that no water leaks up into the carpeting. Then I cut off about half the drain "tube" and inserted the original drain plugs back into the floor mat. When it's clean up time, I pull the floor mats and hose them down. After running a vacuum around on the carpet, the mats are then reinstalled.
My wife likes this arrangement 'cuz she's an OCD neatness freak! While I'm airing up at the end of a trail, she pulls the floor mats and the drain plug in the floor pan. Then she sweeps all the little rocks out through the hole in the floor.
Thanks!Sure, no problem. I tried to use the "tube" in the floor mats first, so had already cut out the carpet plug. If you wanted to keep the carpet plug in place, it might still work by cutting the tunnel even with the bottom of the plug.
Original plug installed in the floor pan with the carpet plug cut out:

The bottom side of the floor mat (second plug installed) showing the "tube" cut short. I used the handle on a pin punch as a guide to maintain a constant cut height. Used a break blade knife to make the cut ... several passes to achieve the final cut through.

Good luck ...

Yes ... took in an old one so they knew what I wanted.Where did you get the 2nd set of drain plugs for your dealer?
Yup, I designed them and 3d printed.Those are cool, 3D printer?
