I was actually worried about the weep hole filling up with water during wet conditions. Unlike the murray, which had a rubber plug, it was wide open. It also sits in a recess where water blown in by the fan would pool up, I think. I didn't want to clog it though, so I stuck a plastic screw anchor in it and called it a day.

No lie. You should see the mopar wipers that I recently got. Cheap as anything from Walmart. Looking at the Mopar WP makes me glad I bought the GMB. Aside from having a metal impeller, GMB specializes in making bearings, which is usually the first thing that fails. It was cheap too... roughly 41 bucks.
