Default Re: Rear Window Drain Kit????????? (GRX)

Could somebody PLEASE tell mewhere exactly they drilled the holes in relation to the inside corner???? There is a 90 degree bend in the brass washer, so it must go against either the roof side or the weatherstrp rail side. Anyone know??

A little hole cause a crack! What the f**k are you smokin? The kit works perfectly. Plus if you drill the holes right there is no way the water can get into the car, even if the tubes were to fall off, which will not happen. Don't be scared at some of these rediculous comments. You can install the kit and hit the brass fittings with some touch up paint and you won't even see them. If you ever want to remove the kit, just fill the holes with some epoxy and hit them with some touch up paint.

Have to agree here. I put them in two years ago when I got the car and got sick of mopping out all that water every time I washed it. Once they're in you'll forget they are there (invisible), and they work great. If they had something for the mirrors I'd be willing to take a look at those too. They are like little buckets on the doors.

Joseph P, the kit should contain directions that tell you exactly where to drill. Just go from the corner (the spot where all the water stays) and go back about 3/4 of and inch and drill. Start with a small bit and work your way up to the correct size. Drill straight down, no angles. Take precautions to avoid scratching any paint with the drill. Put a little touch up paint in the hole to seal up any exposed plastic as a precaution. You will be able to tell how the brass piece goes once you put the drain in the hole. It fits right down into the angle. And if your lucky your car won't "crack" in half. :lol: :lol:
