Where should the water be draining that's coming through the airvent plug? 700 1988

The answer is; a rocker panel drain hole (or so it appears). I got the plug out and there isn't any plastic plenum, it's just the space between the inner and outer fender. All that's in there is the sunroof drain pipe coming from the A pillar. It extends past the hole to the rockerpanel. So it looks like the water directed down the cowl into this space is supposed to drain through the rocker panel also but the rubber gasket on the plug is letting it into the footwell.

Hope this information helps someone besides me.
