Here is a precautionary tale i had water leaking into my cab down the door pillar so i decided to investigate.
i removed the interior trim to try and locate the drain pipe only to discover that at the top were the hole is there is a 90' degree angle so trying to poke something down it wont work. the drain pipe runs down the door pillar to the bulkhead where there is a rubber valve that once the drain pipe is full will open and dispel the water. the best way is to put an airline on it at the top and blow it out. This didnt cure my leak though so on further investigation i realised the roof rubber was not seating properly at the front ( see picture 1 )this was allowing water to get under the seal and sit there and find its way in . upon checking the steel band that holds the seal in place had broken through the rubber and gone rusty preventing a good seal . i purchased a new seal and fitted it today so hopefully problem solved. Very easy to do
