Functioning Weep Holes

[honda03842]

Conversations with CampyTime (Wendy) encouraged me to check my rear window weep holes. It's obvious that the weep holes in this window have never worked. They are effectively sealed by a plastic track in the bottom of the window frame.

I lifted the end of the plastic track a couple of inches with a flat bladed screw driver and clipped about an 1/8th of in inch wide piece off the weep side edge of the track for the distance of about an inch. I used a pair of wire cutters to do this. Pushing the track down I can now see light through the bottom of the track through the weep hole. Water flows easily. I did this on both ends.

After wetting this area for the flow test, I wiped it with a paper towel removing most of the accumulated dirt.

Thanks for the push Wendy.

I just spoke with Wendy and her bottom track has holes in it to allow water flow thru to the weep holes. Unfortunately they are not functioning. I can only assume dirt is trapped under her plastic strip with holes.

Ours works great now and I like that I can see thru the weep holes.
