hole in front of spare

[GJEMD]

I was checking the air pressure in the spare and noticed
a 3" hole in the floor directly in front of the spare. It looks to big for a drain hole. Am I missing a gromet?

looked in my rspec sedan and i do see a hole (bout 3/4" dia) to the rear and to right of spare tire (looking forward from rear of car and spare not removed). the hole does have a rubber grommet with a clear, what looks to be a plastic tube from the battery. hope that helps. see no other holes.

There are two, approx 1.5"dia holes in the sheet metal under my spare tire. Just fwd and aft of the tie down fitting. The fwd one has a rubber plug but the aft one doesn't. Also a smaller plugged hole in the fwd vertical wall of the spare recessed tub. No idea of the purpose or if the open hole should have a plug but these have nothing to do with the EPB or battery vent.
