While there is no credence to what he said, be careful of the blinker fluid. Nasty stuff and it will stuff the paint right off of your JK!

Count me in among the drilled mirrors. I was expecting a little bit of water to come out, but was shocked at how much there really was. It was the pink streaks I had from the detergent on my steel blue jeep that sealed the deal.

I like the idea! It is unbelievable how much water "hides" in nooks and crannies!

BTW-don't race horses pee more than non-race horses because they give them a diuretic (Lasix) to get rid of fluid that builds up in their lungs?? Yeh, I'm in the med field!

hmmm.....or maybe install some type of storm window on the front of the mirror housing?
I think one small hole will drain water just as effectively as a larger hole or two holes, it just might take a couple seconds longer, but it will all get out nonetheless. It's like adding a second drain to your bathtube, not much point.

If you use a sharper bit, it wont strip the paint off around the holes!
