Default drain holes

Hi

Water collection in the area you talk about is a problem and I replaced my rubber seal with one from brookhouse it wasn't an expensive item. It is also an area that can suffer from corrosion due to it being wet.
There should be 2 driain holes in the bottom channel about an inch in from the sides. These holes are connected with some small rubber tube to drain the area with the outlet under the rear bumper. These tubes are usually blocked up as they have a small diameter.( size of a small electrical scewdriver) You might find there are still there, take off the rear carpet strip and you should be to see the location of these drain holes . I have taken a photo so you can locate them it is just by the white wire, sorry about quality my garage is very dark.
I hope this helps you.

Gavin
