The water drips, it just takes forever and you get annoying water marks down your doors for weeks. This is by far the best mod you can do for the money. It will likely get fixed down the road, the first couple years of a new model year there are always items they fix. It sucks buying the first year since they ALWAYS improve it year after year. I could not wait, my XJ was falling apart and needed something new and love the JK. It is worth the problems of a first year vehichle in my opinion. Why wait? you only live once...life is not worth waiting for...
Here's my 2014.

Damn it! Was pretty psyched to drill into my 14, and I spent the extra 20 seconds to take off the mirrors.....and.....someone had put gaskets with notches in there!! I intend to write a pretty intense e-mail to someone..saying I was cheated...!!!

I love this mod!
Today I drilled the mirrors with a 5/64 drill at a 45 degree upward angle. I took off the mirrors to be on the safe side, but you don't really have to if you are careful. Don't push too hard, it is plastic!
No water came out, but I attacked it with the garden hose to check and that resulted in a nice steady stream on both sides :-)
