Default Home Made Drip Rails

I am tired of rain dripping on me every time I open my door, so I made these. They are cable channels that hide cords. Purchased at the Home Depot. They attach with double sided tape that comes on them. I simply heated the ends and cut to fit. Painted to match my ride. I will post pics of them in place soon.

Pictures of rails installed. They do NOT interfere with door opening or Freedom Top removal. I'll keep you posted on how well they work.
