Where does it all go? 2000 T/A I have a 2000 T/A that lives outside. Can anyone tell me where all the water and any debris end up when it flows/falls between the top and rear fenders?
Thanks,
Rick Shaw

It better all end up on the ground or you have blocked drain holes. My car is garage kept but i've had to keep the car outside on road trips and I've been caught in some real monsoons in Florida. Nothing in the car or in the trunk on any occasion. Trust me, I checked! It's all on the ground.
I don't drive mine in the rain, but I do wash it. I've been very "tree poop-adverse" since fixing rusted front fenders on my Cutlass that were the result of tree poop finding its way down around the cowl only to plug the drain holes at the bottom of the fenders. Verts typically have a U-channel under the top where it attaches to the body to catch and drain the water out the bottom via some other channel or tube. If the drain holes get blocked, water will sit in there and rot out the U channel and if overflowed will leak into the trunk or passenger area. It helps to partially lower the top to see in there and if anything is getting plugged.
