Putting on the new top. I see the gutter where the top is attached, but am wondering where the water is supposed to finally exit the quarter panel. Is there a drain that needs to be cleared?

The factory also had small "drains" with tubes, installed at the bottom of the well liner, and the tubes lead into the q-panels.

Yeah Doc is correct (again) BUT, check your well liner.
When I got my '63 I was puzzled as to where the water would go.
Found out thru FABO, but when I checked my for drain tubes they weren't there.

Maybe that's why I had to weld in new rear floors??? lol

This thing is mostly patches, born in New Hampshire. I'm vacuuming out a lot of sand from the quarter panels, and thinking of a hail Mary shot of rust converter before I move on with the top. The well liner might need some fixing up too.
