where do the front sunroof drains drain to?

Say-

I've been using some speaker wire, simple green and compressed air to clear up the drainage lines on the mound. Got the rear hatch and rear sunroof lines cleared up, and the front sunroof drains look pretty clean, but where do they drain to? Looks like the tube runs down the front pillar, and probably comes out on the bottom of the floorboard at the door hinge, but I can't see a hose stickin out, though I do see a hole.

Right on-

The front drains come out just behind the front fender. If you remove the front speakers you will see the holes just directly behind the magnet.

So do they drain behind the fender and then just drain out at the bottom where the door seam is? That appears to be what mine is doing.

If you were to remove the fender from the car. It would be at the lower most part of the A pillar, its like directly behind the fender, about 8 inches up from the rocker panel... Take the speaker out and you will see it...
