Under the grille on my '24 there is a trough area the full width without a drain hole. Water just fills this area up. Ideas ?

I use a leaf blower to blow it out or just drive down the block and back.
I use a leaf blower also. It's crazy how much water builds up there lol. Even if a leaf blower it takes several passes to get it empty.
I wonder if a drain hole could be added, or if the plastic trim is too close to the bumper to matter.

I had to add my own drain holes under my battery because there was a pool of water and ice during the winter just sitting there with 0 drain holes. With all the leaks and lack of drain holes in these trucks have you would think Ram never thought they would get wet.
