System for Preventing Rust on Vehicle Drain Holes

A method for preventing rust on and corrosion of vehicle drain holes, said method comprising the steps of:

• providing a sealing gasket having a center opening and a bottom opening;
• covering a vehicle drain hole with the sealing gasket;
• providing an exterior guard member comprising an upper shield component with a center opening and a drain opening and a lower water and debris collection component chamber having at least one chamber drain hole;
• covering the sealing gasket with the upper shield component of the exterior guard member, such that the center openings of the sealing gasket and the upper shield components are aligned one over another;
• providing fastener means in the form of an elongated threaded bolt and corresponding threaded wingnut;
• inserting the elongated bolt through the center openings of the sealing gasket and the upper shield component;
• threadably engaging the wingnut onto the threaded bolt;
• tightening the wingnut on the threaded bolt to rigidly secure the sealing gasket and the upper shield component against the vehicle drain hole;
• wherein moisture and debris from the vehicle drain hole flows through the bottom opening of the gasket, the drain opening of the upper shield component, into the collection chamber, and out through the at least one chamber drain hole.
