Drain plug retention loops snap easily

[Gangstead]

For those that have the washout interior the drain plugs have little retention loops:

I've had my Bronco for just over a week and my kids have already broken 2 of the 4:

Not a big deal, I knew the kids were going to be hard on the car and I wanted the washout interior / vinyl seats for goldfish dust and sodas rather than mud. It's hard to tell from the picture but the loops do rise above the level of the surrounding flooring so it's possible that even without my kids twisting them off the wrong way they would have been caught up on normal foot traffic eventually.

I just wanted to share in case someone would want to order floor mats to cover these up.

Was talking with one of the Bronco Nation guys at an event and asked if they were replaceable, for the same concern. The whole assembly does come out and can be replaced. Not certain what a new one would cost from Ford.

First thing I noticed about mine. They will be snapped off the first time someone sits there.

Honestly the loops aren't necessary since I would only ever remove the plug to actively drain it, I'm never going to lose a plug.
