Had a huge chain of thunderstorms pass through here so I did this this the following morning took all of 5 minutes and works great.

I drilled and no h20 came out. I think other 2009s still have an issue. Maybe the gaskets/channels are not installed properly on some?

Default Drilling with video - Race Horse Amount of Water

This was done after a 1070 mile drive to get my new JK home. Granted, I just ran it through a car wash, it shows just how much water accumulates.

Video Here.

I just did this on my 2009 Rubicon Unlimited. Sure enough, water came out of both sides.
