Door drain tubes
Bought 4x door drain tubes from minispares, tried a few times over the build to get them to fit but having no luck, am i doing something wrong or is there a better product out there?
My metal tubes that the drain tube goes onto on the top and slides inside on the bottom (i think it has been a while since i looked) are original.

Re: Door drain tubes
I had the same issue.. my solution i reduced down the circumference of the MS Drain Tubes so they located in the lower door location Tubes ..i should have complained .. but just needed to get the job sorted.

I found a rubber tube manufacturer online who supplied me with a length of black tube with an internal diameter to fit around the top metal pipe and an outside diameter that just passed through the hole in the bottom of the door, matched the original tubes perfectly.

The size I used was 9mm id and 12.6mm od. which is the nearest to original 3/8" id and 1/2" od.
