the bomex ones I've got a thinner going into the doors, but still curves at the end. Have a slight lip on them aswell, but I think that is just going to fill up with water

I've had the door pops put in them, and got a new idea for the side repeaters, although that'll have to wait until I get it back!

nik i wondered this too, gonna drill a hole in the very bottom behindd the glass to let water out

it wont make any difference on car as they ar fibreglass, gonna silicon seal the metalwork along door to prevent standing water getting onto the door and rusting it

with rainex on the flat bit, water will drain off reasily if ure driving too
