Should there be drainage holes under the windscreen in my kombi? When i bought the car it was rusted out under there and now i have welded it all up and am unsure weather to drill some. If there are drainage holes where should i drill them? In the corners or in the middle?
Thanks.
:P

Yes drill some 4 mm holes or so in the corners on the windscreen channel

I think theres about 3 on each side.

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

I blocked the holes up under My windscreen and I have painted 3 coats of fishoil where the windscreen fits so even if water gets there it can't drip under the windscreen. I am going to use a windscreen rubber sealant on the rubber so water cannot get under the windscreen rubber.
