Hatch Sunroof Drain

ok one of the worst designs in the history of the automobile is the drainage system of 240sx hatches

for owners who do not know, they drain directly into the rocker
(pull your rear seat side panel out and you'll see a hose dangling inside there)

its utter crap and causes a shit-ton of rust on northern cars


you can easily re-route the rear b-pillar tube through your rear fender if you remove the rear seatbelts and jam it through the bolt hole. it earns you drainage perfection, while no one should sit back there anyway.


now to the FRONT. down the a pillar it drains right into the rocker around where the front fender meets the door.....


does anyone have a good solution for proper drainage of the a-pillar drain tubes?



wish i knew of this design flaw when i bought the car 7 years ago... my car needs chemo for all the rust it caused.
