2011 JSW Spare Tire Well Seal Grommet

I have searched far and wide and am not able to find a replacement spare tire well seal. I noticed a little bit of water in my spare tire well and upon further investigation noticed a piece of duct tape covering the oval shaped hole where a body plug once was in my trunk floor. It looks like that is where the water has gotten in from. It is oval shaped and measures roughly 27x20 MM (oval shaped). There is a lip that a grommet/seal would grab onto. Does anyone have a part number or lead or any other recommendation for sealing this? I am sure I could silicone a piece of rubber or plastic over it but would prefer a factory seal. I may swing by the dealer tomorrow for kicks and giggles to see if they can help.

Maybe it is this one: 1K0899184 ?

I think that is it. It is the exact dimensions. Hopefully the local dealer has it in stock.

If you'd post a pic of the area, this would be helpful. Be sure to take a wider pic, so that it is possible to identify the plug/hole in question...

I'll grab a pic later but am pretty sure the part number you gave is it. I'll swing by the dealer around the corner from my office in a couple hours and see if they have it in stock. By the way, thank you for the number. I searched for about an hour online and couldn't find anything.

RTV and paper

Stopped by the dealer and they confirmed that 1K0899184 is correct and they ordered it. Pics below are of the hole.

Glad it was the correct p/n.
Wonder how that plug got lost... Seems it must be sitting pretty tightly

My guess is it was removed/damaged by the prior owner/mechanic and the simple fix was to put a piece of duct tape over it. I discovered it when I noticed a small amount of water in my trunk and I pulled my spare to wipe it up.

Do you have a sunroof? If so, the drain(s) might be leaking. That plug may be missing because the PO removed it to let the water out.

I do have a sunroof but I don't suspect it is leaking. There was just a small amount of water. This was my first assumption though when I found the water. It wasn't until I pulled the spare out that I found the missing plug.

I just swung by the dealer and picked up the plug. It was exactly as pictured above and snapped right in. Cost me a whopping $3.

After driving back to GA from Louisiana in tons of rain, I started cleaning my car and sure enough the tire well filled with water. Started checking drains and no water came from rear driver side corner. Popped the trim off and found the drain completely disconnected and dumping into the trunk. Looks like you were right
