QC, that "drain tube" as you call it slides into the ends of the rubber seal that separates the luggage compartment from the area behind it. The actual luggage compartment seal (above the mystery rubber thing in the pic) runs along the whole perimeter of the compartment opening.
That "tube" in the mystery rubber thing probably allows the air to escape when that seal is compressed during hood closure. Have a look.
As for the mystery rubber thing itself, it completes the seal to the edge of the body and main compartment seal. If you check, you'll see the edge angled to conform with the hood lid...Porsche goes overboard when it comes to detail...typisch Deutsch.

Anyway, I was wrong, sorry for the bad info.

Had to pop the hood...one loose and one missing...learn something new everyday. Ordering a replacement today...the trick being not to throw in a few more items that I do not really need.
