Rain gutter solution?

Very nice. My drip doesn’t bother me too much but it annoys the kids sometimes. :slight_smile: I may give this a shot just for giggles.

I just found this while browsing YouTube. @crazyfingers

Thanks, MapCompass.

Yes, decided on all new rubber seals on the truck and Josh’s rain gutters and this product from Amazon to help divert the rain a bit. Found this stripping on another post by SW-Tacoma.

Thanks for all the help.

This is what I’ve done having seen something similar from @the_philxx 's post about the GFC Drip Rail. They were sold out and thought I could make them myself.
These ~18 guage, galvanized steel ones were cut with snips, pop riveted together, gumped with silicone and then spray painted. Holes were then drilled for the platform camper track T nuts. I had some spare 1/4" & 18" aluminum and made a spacer and countersunk for some flathead screws that I had to shorten with a hacksaw for the wide washer on the outside.
For the pattern I had to mess with some cardboard first and then just traced it.
I had these out in the rain last night with my 11 year old boy and they redirected the water onto the roof where the trucks roof gutter system took over.

Nice work those look pretty clean! Getting rid of the drips is a huge improvement on life with the camper. Glad the original could inspire you to make some yourself!

Thanks man. Are you the man who designed made the original?

If you don’t know about j Edgar designs drip rails- they’re amazing. I got to test them last weekend and you can actually watch the water drip down into the factory drip rails and not on your back seat.

The custom one above is the nicest one I’ve seen other than the j Edgar design, good job!

I’ll post this here for fun, but I left a tiny crack in my window the other day and that drip was perfectly placed to get the inside of my car super wet. Total mess up on my part but it was crazy how much water travelled into the car.

I’ll try to post my fix.

those tacky window visors have never let me down
