I am preparing the pin box for a fresh coat of paint. There are two holes on the front corners that were covered with stickers when the rig was new. They are long since gone, having been out in the weather day in and out for nearly 7 years. What are the holes for and should I seal them up again?
Thanks,

Mine has 2 holes that are about 1/2" in diameter on the top side near the corners.No idea why they are there,but never worried about them.

I lost one of the hole covers on my Mor-Ryde pin box. Called and the factory sent me a new one.

I think those holes are there to allow the bees and wasps quick access to the inside of the hitch . I'd cover them up.

That's what I have as well. I will get a pic posted over the weekend...
Oh and the bees and wasps definitely know how to find them....
