So, there was talk a while ago about trying to find a decent hatch and how hard it was getting.. just like everything else for our cars. I managed to locate one, but this time I'd like it not to rust in under 5 years when it was in great condition when I painted it.
Me and the guy I bought the hatch off of got looking, it appeared to have a little hole on the bottom inside of the hatch. We made a quick guess that maybe its a drain-hole since the bottom corners of the windows like to retain a ton of water when it rains/gets washed. Anybody else ever notice this? Am I right, or just have wishful thinking?

There should be two drain holes on the inside of the hatch, one on either side. There aren't any drain holes for the corners of the window however.
