I washed my Jeep today for the second time. The mirrors drip water for days and leave spots all over the side of the jeep. I read a thread about drilling a weep hole so I gave it a whirl. The first mirror I removed and tried doing the v-cut in the gasket like the thread said. (too much hassel) I ended up drilling a tiny hole underneath where the flat part of the mirror meets the round part (just above the gasket seal inside) and put it back on. I went to the other side and decided to just drill and not remove the mirror. My mirror was pissing like a race horse! Good quick fix! The hole just needs to be tiny.

 

Pics?

 

It's a little hard to see on the black.[IMG][/IMG]

 

Thanks the pic helped a bunch.
Did you drill straight in or go in at an upward angle?

 

At a slight upward angle. It's just plastic so go slow. If you do it after you wash it water squirts right out as soon as it breaks through. I have to think a lot of that water seeps into your door panel after seeing how it mounts inside.

 

their be water in those mirrors.that was easy...and lots of water just sitting in side. thanks

 

I've always wondered, do race horses really piss more than regular horses?? :confused:

 

That was easy. Thanks for the tip.
I had green water draning out. I could have been raising skeetos.

 

No, just faster!

 

Non-race horses pee when the urge hits. Race horses have to hold their pee till they are done racing, hense more backup and pressure.
