Default DG505, DG500 Spoiler box does not drain and freezes

No moisture drain hole in the spoiler enclosures. Searched for any
blog or discussion group on this subject. No joy.

Waiting to hear back from the factory for a mod or some solution
besides a hangar or wing covers.

Doesn't water get in also flying through storms and perhaps freeze as
you go high enough?

Are all 500 and 505' the same?

Thanks.

I thought the drain hole in the 505 is the hole the mid-wing tie-down
lug screws into on the lower surface of the wing.
