I was reading a thread yesterday (dont remember who) but they were discussing clogged drain holes in the bottom of the door starting rust because of the bad dew wipe.
I was curious where these holes were, I'm not seeing them on this new door I just bought. Should I drill/ re/open them or is there a better spot to have them at?
I am por-15-ing the inside of my door after I rough it up in there, I just want to be double 200% sure this door will outlast me.
There should be 3 or 4 or 5 slots, maybe an inch or a little longer in a row...the may be under the weatherstrip, it's been awhile since I looked, so not 100% sure...
I'm sure Jerry or Eric could probably be of better help in regards to drilling new holes if you don't have them though.
Oh, i was looking for little holes, and did not check under the strip. When I get off work ill have to pull the seal.
If you want I can take pic of the underside of my doors. They look just like they rolled off the assembly line. California is great for cars :)
Check out Jerry's picture in this thread. You can see one about six inches in halfway up the sealer he's applying.

That's ugly!
I suppose we should also keep an eye on the window weatherstrip to prevent junk from getting in the door in the first place.
