Re: cab corner

It's a drain hole.... I've never looked at a stock cab corner...never owned a truck that still had it, however, if the hole is original, or added by a previouse owner, it's there for drainage. Esp considering what state you're in... I'd leave it alone.

Re: cab corner

I was gona fill it so that it wouldnt let any water in. It seems like it would allow a lot of water to just shoot up into the cab and cause road noise.

Re: cab corner

sounds like your "hole" is none stock. I can't see the original hole letting too much water and/or noise in.
