Default Re: Anyone ever install Rear Window Drain Kit

I installed one in my '93; no problems. I installed one in my '95 and when I was drilling the passenger side hole down all of a sudden my interior lights flashed. I stopped, fearing I had damaged some wires. SInce I had to send my car down to Marc Haibeck for a couple of other things, I had him check it out and complete the installation. Turns out I had nicked a wiring harness (I had not removed the interior panels when I drilled). He fixed it and said no problem and completed the installation. I was happy to have the drains in both cars, but I would suggest that when you drill the holes (which have to go down to the wheel wells) that you first remove the interior panels so you can see what you are drilling. --Bob

Don't drill any holes in your Z...
Just swipe your bride's turkey baster out of the kitchen drawer
and use it to suck the water out of the 'corners'
She won't miss it till Thanksgiving...

We have it on our 94 and it works wonders. Was already in place when we bought it.

I would say it?s worth it. I?m thinking of getting some to install in cooler weather. For those opposed to doing it, a paper towel rolled into a cone and the pointed end placed in the crevice works well. The water will wick into the paper towel. Works for the hood latches of water gets in there after a wash.
