Re: Shaved drip rails?

Yes MUCH less work!
I believe you will have to spend a lot of time fine tuning the door fit to get the seals to keep the water out. If your doors are like mine plan on drilling out the spot welds on the window frame to reposition the frame for optimal sealing. The drip seal gave the factory a lot of room for error.
You might look at adding a lip of some kind to the door frame (that would be hidden by the door when closed) to help channel the water away from the seal.
If you go down this road please post the process. Lots of others would be interested.
