What exactly does this do?

Had a pretty good rain storm a few days ago and the 944 looked like a swimming pool. I know I'm going to replace both sunroof seals and the hatch seal, as well as check the battery box and all that. But what purpose does the hood seal do. I mean the water has a run off from the battery box, and everything in front of the engine just goes straight to the ground. What am I missing here?
