The only place the drip check was left out was the 2" odd seam on the outside of the pillar, all of the rest was properly redone with drip check. There was about 2 litres of fish oil sprayed in with a schutz gun, it was running out of the seam for about 2 months!

 

I know others that had done some sort of drain, but no idea how that lasted long term.

Make sure you use a weld through primer on the c pillars! Upol do a good one in a green can.
