I've been looking into buying some. Where did you end up buying them? I've seen them online for around $200.00

I actually was just on the auto anything website and read your review. Looks like I'll be purchasing a set soon.

Any updates?

Last night I removed almost all the factory tape and thoroughly cleaned out my rockers.. Also sprayed out the triangle seam into the cab corner. Seemed like all water drained fine, and relatively clean.

Letting it dry out today and tomorrow I'm going to spray fluid film inside the rockers and cab corners, then retape the open holes on the inner side.

I'm also considering drilling some drain holes in the bottom of the cab corners. The water has to travel a little ways up into the rocker to get to the first drain.. so I figure if I drill 1 or 2 small ones in the bottom of the cab corner that may help the cause. Or is that a bad idea?

You'd need to coat the drilled hole with something. Bare metal will just rust.

Haven't made it to the body shop yet but I have checked underneath the truck and all the tape is in place covering up the holes in the rocker panels. How did you get the water to drain after you flushed it out?

There are small openings/seems every couple inches it seems. Once you start putting water in there you will see it what I mean

I'll have to try and clean it out before i take it to the shop. I doubt they will want to clean it.

Update, was looking underneath the truck last night and poked through. I can't believe it's this bad. The truck is only 5 years old.

Wow that's pretty bad! It'll be interesting to see what it looks like once it's opened up.
