no they don't but the trainers often teach them to pee on demand so they can go before a race & not want to stop to do it




now back to mirrors

I did mine at the base where curve met flat...

I'm still boggled that with all the testing that goes into vehicles these days...they never noticed drips or stains in pre-production?
Hmmm...So what is the best spot to drill?? The one in the above video or the one in the pic at the beginning of this thread??
Thanx

don't drill...cut a v-notch at the bottom and remove the damn foam gasket on the inside to truly let it drain properely. Drilling at the very bottom gets some of the water out but not all. wait until you see it stop dripping then remove your mirror and you will see what i am talking about.
