After one year! I finally drilled them! Piece of cake. Removed with T40, lifted up foam, I had to poke & shake loose lots of Glamis sand and dried dirt, shaved enough foam to create pathway, drilled at a slight angle with 1/8 bit, and reinstalled. Looks great and water disappears quicker

Am I the only one that hasn't noticed any water issues?

Or do i have a bunch of water just sitting inside the mirror?

I used a 7/64" drill to do mine after washing it.
Did them while on the doors.

The only reason to remove the mirrors is if you need to remove some of the foam, or if you are a recovering crack-head with the shakes
