Shower pan liner, its available in grey and black depending on which company provides it. Oatey I believe is most common and its grey.

The good news about the PVC stuff is that it can be glued quite easily with PVC cement, contact cement or Barge Glue which is probably the best thing to use. If you glue it PVC becomes a solid piece so any thickness can be fabricated. Use a dollar store rolling pin to smooth out bubbles although we didnt have one obviously so we used a soccer ball that was low on air. It may sound strange but it's what we had. I also resealed our BFT with it and after having my wife order a larger quantity we made sun shades for the armored windows from it so that bad guys couldnt see informants we were transporting or the exact number in our vehicle.

... We also installed a drain line in the track and ran it outside. This I think helped the most....

Can you tell more about this drain line?
I'm not sure what you are referring to.

We bought a marine 1/4" hatch drain and put it in the roof under the turret ring. It kep water from sitting on the turret bearing and at 1/4" the 5.56 from the m4 our gunner used to hit high angle targets that the 50 couldnt elevate to didnt plug it up. We ran it back to the wall where the A/C was mounted and merged it down through a drain in the floor that was already there.
