Default Drain kit installation

Hi guys I bought this drin kit :


The installation instructions provided are quite clear but before I start I'd like to know if one you you has already installed it once and if so is there any precaution to take ?...I prefer asking before I do something wrong

Thanks

installed one and works great. follow the directions. just watch that you drill the hole at the lowest point possible. when you do that the drill gets VERY close to the roll bar part of the car.

it gets rid of that annoying water that just stays after washing.

Still trying to figure out where this drain is. Is this in a coupe or convertible or both?

I did this a few years back. Be very careful with drill chuck, which can rub against the pillar. I used painter tape to cover the area, plus put the same tape around the chuck, just in case I "slipped" and rubbed the drill against the car.
