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?

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