|
|
Since I haven't found the perfect for me Thing to buy I have to ask a question. Do the Things have a water drain inside the car. I have been caught in the rain several times and when I get home I just pull a rubber plug to let out any water inn the car. Does a Thing have any such drains in case I get caught in a down pour with the top down? |

There are a couple drain hole in the rear of the pan... In my eye, they are not in the best location to properly drain a flooded floor, but they are there...
I added some smaller holes to my pan, at strategic spots where the water actually puddles, to help drainage... I've done this on our last two TJ wranglers as well, and they work great.... (Just make sure you prime/paint the hole to eliminate rust coming on )...
These added holes aren't big enough to need plugs, but do allow water to run out...., and don't allow road water to get in....
Thems my thoughts! _________________ '74 Thing, "Our Thing"....

Just scoop out the excess water, towel dry it, and then drive it around to finally air dry it. |
