    Default Quarter Window Drainage

    I recently resealed my quarter windows and washed the car yesterday. Everything looks good, but the bottom rear corner drains down into the inner wheel well. Based on the metal fit, the water can drain out or evaporate, but should it be in there at all? The car won't be driven in the rain if I can help it, so it'll mainly just be car washes from here on out. Is it OK that it drains there? Is that what Ford intended with the metal shape? If not, I need to get it sealed up better.

    Inner wheel well?
    No water should drain inside car.
    Should shed water outside directly onto the 1/4 panel.
    Like a house window.
    Thinking rust in hidden seam areas.
    Butyl time.
