You see the drain. If you stick your finger in there about 1/2" down you will feel the holes. Here is a pic of the instructions...

Part F there shows the holes. I don't want water going down behind them. That's why I was wondering if siliconing another plastic tube over them would be doable, i.e. wouldn't hurt anything. What do you think?
