Do these drains go anywhere?

I have the back seat of my '82 stripped down so I can install a roll bar (Autopower), and I'm looking at the two black plastic drip pans for the convertible top. No problem, I'll just clean them out and away we go. Wait a minute,where the heck do these drain to? It sure looks to me like they just dump into the side frame rail... That can't be right. Right??? :roll:

Yes, they dump into the inner rocker, which has drain holes.

Thanks Csaba,
Given the rust I see down there, I'm guessing these got plugged up a long time ago...

Not to mention a serious lack of rust inhibitors.

I have one that drains down thru a hole but also I notice under the wing window attached to the top that there a hose there, it is short but I am sure at one time it went someplace, I don't believe it went to the same hole as the other, I wonder where that went
