I have a 2016 Road Glide that seems to be missing a plug or cover on the rear fender under the seat.
In the pic it is circled. This hole allows and dirt/water/dust picked up by the rear tire to enter under the seat.
I have looked at the parts manual and see no reference of a plug, but this just can't be right.
Has any one else seen or dealt with this?
There also is a second open hole on the other side of the fender that is much smaller that does not show up in the pic.
I have put some duct tape over it as a temp measure until my next service visit.
Thanks for any info.

My wife has a hole in a similar location, I plug it regularly.
