Where does the water drain?
I know that rain water that happens to get by the rubber window wipes on the doors drains out the bottom of the doors, over the sill and onto the ground, but what happens to the water that gets by the rubber wipes on the rear windows? I can't really get a good visual down the window slot to see but I assume there must be a drain somewhere. And how would I make sure it's not blocked? I'm thinking that maybe some of you folks that have done complete interior restorations might have some information.

Seems like I saw a drain in the space where the convertible side window retracts when the top is folded down.

The drain is just as described. The drain hole in the sheetmetal is between the back seat and the wall. the rubber hose goes in that hole. that drains into the unibody outrigger tube. crawl under the car and make sure all the drains along the bottom seam are free and drain properly.

Re: Where does the water drain?
The only thing I am able to see are 2 slots under the rocker panel so I guess that's where the water drains out?

Re: Where does the water drain?
there should be 4 of them on a side, spaced evenly between the 2 jack points.
