Abstract
A valve type drain plug for a vehicle trunk drains water outward from a trunk room of a vehicle via a drain hole formed in the trunk room and prevents external air from flowing in the trunk room via the drain hole. The valve type drain plug includes a valve and a grommet which are engaged with each other by a slide portion. As the valve is moved, the water flows along the slide portion and is then discharged outward from the trunk.
