I've noticed in a couple pics that have been posted what appears to be a drain hole next to the lower striker for the rear barn doors. My truck doesn't have one so I'm wondering if they were added to allow any water that might leak or seep around the weather strips to drain out. Seems logical that is what it's for. But it also seems that it would let water get in when driving in the rain.

Any other panel owners input would be appreciated. I figure I will not put one in mine for now, but if I find water pooling there, I might drill it later.

Your thoughts/experience would be appreciated.
