    A couple of door related questions

    1) Did everyone with a truck kit receive felt lined weather stripping for 3/4 of the inside of the doors and ‘cats head’ to run along the bottom of the inside of their side windows? I’ve looked at several older posts with no conclusion.

    2) assuming I’ve done the weather stripping correctly, there is no way it will keep the water out of the inside of the doors during a summer thundershower around here...let alone a power wash. So...what are you guys doing for water management inside the doors? I’m thinking 3 or 4 roughly 1/4” size holes in the bottom where the two different panels are bonded together.

    Comments?

    Better yet...suggestions?

    Thanks much!

    My kit came with 2 long pieces of felt strip. 4 pieces of cat's head. And 2 extruded pieces of aluminum channel with a rubber & felt insert ( I have no clue what they are for). I'm going to FFR on that. I can't comment on water, your a bit ahead of me.

    Thanks for your reply Furrman.
    I believe the aluminum channel is for ‘33 doors. That’s what I’ve read in a different thread, but definitely ask FFR to confirm.

    Yes drill drain holes. OEM cars have them as well.
