Rain gutters....
It's raining here at the moment and the van was out today and I noticed puddles in the front of the rain gutters on each side. Back in the old days we used to drill a small hole where the water collected to drain it. I'm tempted to do mine, but I thought I'd ask if it was the done thing or frowned upon these days.
I also remember that water used to then run in the window if you had it wound down, so there is a trade - off.
Opinions?
Vans.... This is the 2nd time round the block, 40 years later! talk about turning back the clock!
I drilled two small holes on mine many years ago to and i have never had rust there at all
its a stupid design if you ask me
I agree. They should run to the rear so water will naturally drain. I know it does when you drive, but I hate the idea of leaving the van parked for a long time with water just sitting there.
If I drill mine, I'll do it just before I paint it and then it'll be like it was always that way.

Make sure you go to the lowest point of the gutter other wise it will still sit there

Yes rob 1/8 is way to big i would go one or two more size down
I can start small. I guess it only has to let water through and water is pretty crafty at getting through small holes!
Maybe 1/16" to start.....

Yes maybe and drill from the inside down very important
Why?

Easier to find the lowest point from the inside of the rain gutter dont you think
