• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

I'm not sure if I'm overthinking this or something would need to be addresses. New, the Telluride comes with foil stickers over the rear license plate holes presumably to seal the door until the rear plate is mounted.

I cleared the foil sticker off one of the holes to mount a temp plate only to find I had the wrong screws so I left it unsealed. And then my car was detailed (read: probably pressure washed).

Do I need to take any action to clear out water and prevent rest/condensation/etc inside the tailgate? Like--remove interior tailgate panel to dry it out? Or is that overkill? I found and removed from the bottom of the tailgate what I assume are 3 rubber drain plugs and figured I would leave them off for a while. I did not notice any water draining but it also was raining, so if any did drain it wasn't much.
