Or here's an idea.

Don't leave your top down.

I've seen a multitude of issues.

Top down, back window leaks, door seals leak, drain plugs clog.

Most are preventive maintenance issues -- but a well placed drain hole would alleviate 99% of the issue.

As you know the intrusion of water can happen in multiple ways besides leaving the convertible top down.

The drain is a good idea as well, if the car is kept clean.

Otherwise small debris like receipts, loose coins, and others could potentially clog the drain from the top.

Another thing to consider is that the sludge and dirt from the road could also clog the drain from the outside.

I really like the drain idea, but we want to prevent this problem with a "bullet-proof" solution.
