barn door with Handle question

Ok so I notice that every once in a while after a rain that I will have some moisture in the back by the doors and cant figure it out but as it was a once in a great while thing didn't worry to much about it.

Well I finally stopped being lazy and figured it out, the door cover on that side came off when it got cold and I didn't get around to getting new xmass tree things to make it stay on and while i was looking in the door noticed that there are 2 great big holes in the handle that opens the door. Now if the cover was on and if the plastic was still on the door the water would just drain out the bottom but i don't have the plastic and would like to come up with a little more direct route for the water to travel and wondering if anybody else had come up with a good solution?

Also where have you guys gone to get the little push plugs that hold the panel on, did you just get the really cheap looking ones at the auto parts store or did you try the stealership?

Would love to see what other people have come up with on this one.

thanks,

Haven't had the water problem on the barn doors but I've used the cheap panel tabs from the auto parts store with no problems.
