There is a drain hole midway between the front and rear holes, on my car at least.

I think I would prefer it pinned, not glued. You will have to look and see if the glue covered over the central drain hole.

 

Why not request a new bottom weatherbstripping. If the OEM one wasn't glue on from the factory. Wouldn't want water sealed in the bottom of the door. Either that, they can't tack in spots the stripping back up, so it doesn't cover the holes.

This is the same reason that I don't think people should glue their side skirts onto the body sheet metal if they have snapped out of place on their Abarth, Turbo, Sport or E. They weren't meant to be sealed against the body sheet metal and if you do that and water still gets in you might rot out your rocker panels. You wouldn't even know that they are rotting until they would be beyond repair.

 

May I add, that the question really is why dealers do this sort of job and calling it okay. I thought my dealer might be the one of the minorities, but from the various posts, it looks like this is the culture. It does not give me a confidence in the capability of the dealer service.

 

And dont get me started on the rocker panels.
They were popping away from body near the front and rear. Went in twice to complete the job and it just popped again.
I am hesitant to bring it back since they may damage the paint and cause future rust. Grrrrrr
Will make a stop at a different dealer.

 

Double-side severe duty adhesive tape is probably the best fix for the rocker panels. Just make sure not to completely seal it up. Mine is coming off of the passenger side and when it's sufficiently peeled off, I'll get a roll of the back 3m and slap it back on. Bam, done.

Double-side adhesive tape probably could fix this weather stripping issue too, if used selectively. Either way, that drain hole needs to be opened up ASAP.
