Re: do people shave the factory drip rails?
Only if you like to get wet when it's raining outside.
There's a reason GM started installing those rain gutters in 74. Last edited by heavychevy79; 01-07-2009 at 02:36 AM. |

I'd shave them if it's not a daily driver and/or doesn't see rain. When it rains the water doesnt drip straight down, when you open the door it'll come in a foot or so and soak you and everything else inside. |

I shaved them off my 78 daily driver and never had a problem. I just had them removed off my 84. I think it cleans it up.
