drain hole

[40zr1]

Water stays in the channel of rear window glass, isn't there a rubber drain tube that can be installed by drilling a hole in the corner. Would anyone know of a vendor who sells this? And what's it called?
Thanks

Ecklers has been selling them for years

Don't do it!!!.
Don't drill holes there!!!

There is a possibility of creating stress cracks in the body in that area. It is not worth the risk.

Spend $4 and get a Baby Nasal Aspirator Bulb and keep it under the seat.

Works perfect takes a minute to suck up the water.

Just swipe your wife's turkey baster out of the kitchen drawer, works great.
She won't miss it till Thanksgiving....

Actually, I installed those drain tubes on both of my ZR-1s and they worked fine. No issue of stress cracks but needed a long drill bit. However, on the '95 when I was drilling the hole on the passenger side the lights blinked on and off so I stopped. Later took it to Marc and he said I had drilled into a wiring harness. Fortunately did not do much damage and Marc finished the drilling. I had done the drilling without dismantling any of the interior in the hatch area. I would, in hindsight, recommend you pull back the carpeting so you can see everything when you drill. --Bob

That is a BRILLANT idea!! This will replace my old method of using a shammy to soak up that water.

Our Admiral Blue 94 has the holes and tubes, and it works fine. Our old 91 did not have them, and it felt like a gallon of water each time I towel dried the car after washing it.

I drilled mine to install the drains, 19 years ago and no cracks.

Wash, 80 mph air dry, what shammy?

This is just about the dumbest idea ever!
You will still have water spots and streaks.
