It's not usually the actual pipe that it collects in until corrosion gets really
bad, but the inner and outer rocker panels themselves.  If water actually comes
out of the hole the front fender screw goes into, there must be water in the
outer rocker at least.  It may get in between the rear end of the front fender,
but often gets in through bad seams at the air intakes and floods into the rear
of the rocker panels.

I could be wrong, but the foam seam sealant fails as quickly in a 'dry' state as
in the rust belt - maybe even quicker.
