C pillar drain hole ?

97 300 tdi - Should the C pillar have a drain hole? One of mine has and the other not... both sides had new wheel arches cobbled on by previous owner.

Thanks

I would go out and have a look to answer your question but the bottoms of my c posts don't exist!

Nope, they are only in the (A) pillar as that is where the drain tubes for vehicle fitted with a sunroof are.

Matthew - LOL !!
Thanks discool- Will fill that in along with all the other holes....

Our D1's have all had drain holes at the base of the B posts as well.

The holes in the B post on my disco have rubber plugs, just as it left the factory so I wouldn't call them drain holes. As I don't have any rust that's where the cavity rusproofing for the pillar was injected, maybe who knows.

My new arches that I welded in recently both have 1/2" holes that i thought were drain holes.

Best I weld the buggers up then :doh:

If you've got them then flaunt them

Will stop any condensation forming and rotting out the bottoms. Was thinking of drilling some in when I eventually sort my new panels out.

Or will it cause rot where water mud etc gets thrown through the hole from the tyres as its right above the wheel???
