Weep Hole Plugs

Why do they put these in the weep holes at the bottom of the doors? I was wiping down the inside of the door and one popped out. Some water and debris came out so I popped them all out.

You answered your own question. They are weep / drainage holes for any condensation or water from inside the door. They could deffinately be made better, I've popped plenty off while cleaning and they bend and break easily.

I know they are weep holes, I just don't understand why they put the plastic peices in them in the first place.

Years back on my Pontiac G8 GT, it had a problem common among the model, the weep holes in the door were also the holes the push pins went in to hold the weather stripping on the bottom of the door. They were notorious for getting clogged with junk. Every now and then, especially after a lot of rain, I'd hear a sloshing sound in all the doors. I'd have to pull all the weather stripping off the bottoms, which was nasty it was always slimy and dirty, and let the gallons of water that accumulated drain out.
