door jam area

[realn96]

I have a question on the door jam area. I have this "drain" type hole on the driver side but not on the passenger side. Is this suppose to be seam sealed? Or open for draining??  BTW I would love to see some pictures of some  jams! I googled and found no close ups of this area!

I think I remember that hole?  Let me go look at some cars...  stand by:

It might be a drain, but more likely a line up hole?  Some of the cars I can access right now have the hole and others have it somewhat welded up or gooped up.  I wouldn't close it up.  Maybe the factory put seem sealer on it and I might have missed doing that in my restoration.     Either way, looks factory to me.

Awesome! thanks for your help and time guys! Nice to have you guys help out so fast!!

Np.  I think Cody is correct with it being for alignment.  The brace underneath it has the same hole. I welded it to support that area while I do the repair. It's there just hard to see

No hole like that on either of my door jams.

My 73 has it on at least one side.  I questioned it when I saw it covered with seam sealer.  It's not a drain though.  The rocker pinch-welds have the drains in them.  The water that leaks down past the 1/4 window "fuzzies" drains out the pinch-welds.
