So after body work etc, I noticed my doors don’t have drains. Can anyone show me pictures about where you could add or locate door drains in the bottom of the door? My concern is will the weatherstripping block the holes?

I figured I had a picture of the bottom of a door. There are 4 "D" shaped holes at the bottom of the outer skin. The weatherstrip won't cover them up.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

Okay that makes sense, I did replace the lower outer skin and there were no holes there. Now I need to figure how to add them…

There's no need for them to be "D" shaped. The water doesn't care. Just drill a few holes to just miss the inside skin. I think that the skin was punched at the factory and the flaps left in place to locate the outer skin against the inner before folding the edge over the inner skin.
