Arrow Rear window drains......

Don & Charles,

Unfortunately, I couldn't get a pic from the top since the moulding is in the way and there's no way that I am going to revisit that installation hassle . I took a few shots from below that illustrate how I used about 12" of 5/16" brake line tubing slightly bent to reach the top area of the wheeltubs, and supported by a couple of hangers made from old coat hangers. I think that I wiill use a couple of old Schrader valves w/o the valve cores bolted into the wheeltubs as nipples, and then use some 5/16" vacuum hose to connect the drain tubes to the Schrader valves . None of the dimensions are critical since the goal is to simply drain the accumulated water from the low spots in the corners of the rear window gutter, so use whatever you have laying around the garage to fab up your drains.
