Water Drains

Thinking about drilling holes...

1) At the base of the windshield under the hood at both corners where water pools. 2) Fuel filler/cap where water pools.

Anyone else think that water shouldn't pool/collect here or is it just me?

Where does the water go when you drill a hole into the bottom of the fuel filler? Into the fender

IMHO this is one of the worst ideas I?d read in a while. Don?t do it!

I wasn't really thinking about doing it. It just seems like a strange design oversight. There's quite a bit of water in those locations!

I agree it's a pain in the ass when you are drying the car but I just use one of these and suck the water out of those 'wells'.
