Default Door Well Drip???

It's kind of strange that with all our door seals, that after a rain or wash, the inner door area is quite wet. I noticed that the vertical rubber seal has an inner channel, I guess to allow some roof runoff to pass through, but drains directly downward toward the door latch area. Has anyone tried to plug this up with any success? Any other ideas or tricks? It seems like an unessary pain to be constantly wipping the custom door sills. Thanks!
