    Well I had to see it with my own eyes and yes the Dumb Asses from GM do indeed have some type of drainage hose that stops just inside the rear end of the rockers panels. Anybody know what the hose goes to? Has anyone been creative and rerouted the hose to the outside of the rocker panel?

    Well from what I have gathered, I guess the drain hose that empties into the rear end of the rocker panel is for the back sunroom weep holes. I was wondering if anybody has redesigned this so that the hose exits to the outside of the car? I was thinking on extending the hose and running through the outer rocker panel and through a grommet to make a nice seal. Any thoughts?

    No need to extend it, stock hose goes PLLLEEENNNTY out the rear.

    You can see the stock hose location by my pinkie
