I was removing the rear cargo passenger side panel for the first time today to install a power inverter, after i got the panel off i noticed this thing. Its on the farthest rear pillar on the passenger side.

The Red thing on top is rubber and i removed it and it is apparently a plug for some tube.

This tube goes down a few inches and goes into an angle joint.

i just came across this the other day while replacing the window.. any ideas?
 






it may be a drain plug if you had a sunroof installed? dunno really, mine has that aswell and would like to know also
 


















Does anyone else think this looks offensive or is it just me? LMAO! :D
 






It has something to do with the window washer for the back. Wear it goes into that 90, that hose goes up the piller then under the headliner then pops out the top to the back hatch. What it is for idk.
 






IIRC, it's a check valve of some sort for the rear washer fluid... I don't recall its exact name or function, but it's the washer fluid line it's connected to. IIRC, it had something to do with stopping the fluid from continuing to dribble out after the pump shuts off, but don't quote me on that...
