    If I could get in contact with the guy who makes them it would be pretty easy for me to measure. Unfortunately I wont have any time till next week but I think I saw an email on his website

    My Super pacific has the same issue. It has t-slots around the outer extrusion so it was easy to make a gutter that could bolt on. I still get a bit of drippage where the frame peeks through but not water pouring in during rain like before.

    Awesome. Looks like you just used some sheet metal and bent it?

    Yup, bent it, riveted it together, then painted it. Used cardboard to make a template first

    I ain't gonna let this thread die.

    Another wet weekend in the desert but this one was cold too. This was the clear night before the first snow of the year.

    I thought I’d join in. Buffalo pass on the way to Utah. It ended up snowing about 5 inches overnight.

    Nice! Let us know how you end up liking the rear door vs tailgate and hatch. I'm guessing a lot if you went for a whole new Drifter, haha.
    The entry and exit through the hatch is definitely one of the few pain points for me.

    Since you've had experience with an earlier Drifter as well, any real differences in construction, or other interesting changes that have been incorporated over the years (other than the the obvious rear door and panel - but I'd definitely still be curious to see more detail on that too)?
    For example, I notice the rivets at the front of the lid on each side, which I don't have...
