"little rubber sill drain funnels"
« on: June 18, 2016, 17:28:41 »
The latest Sports Car Market (Jul/16) says about a car sold in England:

"even the little rubber sill drain funnels are still in place, which we're only just starting seeing again at auction."

What the heck are these?

Oh, the car sold for $140,753 USD.

Those are probably the drainage tubes found on cars with Factory/dealer installed AC.
