Well I did it. Some say they use a towel, a needle, a leaf blower to get the water out.

The truth is its a factory flaw and needs to be fixed or it will rot your weather stripping. That included the metal and the rubber.

Well here is some pics of my install !










Once the weather strip is on, the gromet will not show. I was going to paint it but didnt want it to chip and etc.

Did mine too, although its hard to drill holes in my car, it was one of the needed mods.

Looks good. What if you just drilled a small pin hole, without the tubes etc.?

Allieboy

did you drill straight down. it looks good. i read somewhere you have to angle the hole a little outward

I did mine the other week. Now I gotta do the weatherstripping, have the new piece in the garage.
The drain kit is awsome. Really makes a difference. No more water running down the sides.
installation is quite simple. Just follow the directions.

Looks great.

Can't wait to see that thing all painted up and on the road..

I would be carefull on how i would drill the hole because i've heard that with time stress cracks start to form.

Nice work , maybe one day I will put it on the list so it will be done in the next 5 years.
I'm a little behind on a few lists

If you look carefully at picture #6 you'll see that there are two layers of fiberglass. If you just drill a hole the water will collect between the two panels. The tubes direct the water out the wheel well to the ground.

I agree that the problem can be a bit annoying, but I'm kinda doubting its responsible for "rotting" your weather stripping.

I would like to do this mod to my car and I've looked over the photos and I wanted to ask, what area is shown in photos #5 and #7. Seems to me that one hole is drilled from the top and the other hole should be drilled from below in the wheel well with a drill stop or tape wrapped around the drill bit so as not to go too deep into the car body with the drill bit. Then run a piece of wire up from the bottom hole to guide the tube through both holes and then you should be good to go.
