Default Trunk Upper Corner Drain Funnel - Correct Drain Hole?

Hi All, while I was testing the source of my trunk leak, I noticed the drain funnel closest to the corners by the rear window just has a tube going into this hole. It’s not connected to a dedicated drain plug. Is this normal? I tested it and the water does drain out the bottom of car by the wheel so I think it’s fine? Didn’t want it to pool water inside the car and rust, so wanted to confirm.

Thanks!

Yep there's one on each side. They catch the water when you open your trunk in the rain. The U shape of the trunk funnels water into there two catch areas. just one of those over engineered parts of the SC430.

When the trunk is closed the large seal around it prevents water intrusion.
