68 Barracuda FB glass pinchweld modification idea.

FISHBREATH said
Instead of installing drain tubes, could a "rust-proof" finish to the metal underneath be more feasible? I ran into the same rust problem in the lower back window channel with my '68 GTX. I "repaired" it in 1981, but the rust is re-emerging, so after the Cuda is done, I will be tackling the GTX again. This time, however, after metal work is done, I want to find some type of finish impervious to rust, such as OS-PHO, to pre-treat the metal before painting. Man, sometimes I wish these things were made of stainless (just kidding).

I like the idea but it does not solve the root of the problem, which is the recess area under the trim of the glass, that holds moisture. He wants to drill a small hole and have the water, that runs down the window, and along the channel, to drain off almost completely, as opposed to puddling in the lower corners of the window.
