Hey all,

In working though all the kinks on our Bee, I'm noticing that there are places where it looks like water can pool, not drain, and possibly lead to rust, etc. down the road. I know that many of us don't drive our cars in inclement weather for various reasons but for those who do, and/or would like to, how does one keep water from pooling, if possible at all, in places like this and along the whole rear lower chrome trim? Sealant? How did the factory mitigate against things like this? Drain holes? Just let the water pool and count on (hopefully) good paint and sealers and evaporation to keep the water from pooling? Old car guy, Mopar newbie here.

Thanks very much,

Lovely. Kinda figured but was hoping for something at least a little more positive :) But hey.. if that's how it is, that's how it is. Just would like to figure out ways around it.

Thanks,
Mikey
 
How did the factory do it?? Dum- dum. Lots of dum- dum.
 
these cars were disposable, they didn't care...........a well restored and cared for body will not rust out in our lifetime
