what does this part do?

Anyone ever have a leak from this kick panel area from rain? I have a very small slow drip from there. I have not pulled it off yet. However, it has dripped enought over the years for the pad to soak it up and rust out the floorpan in that area.

I've seen a lot of trucks rusted in that area, so I'd assume that's a kinda normal problem. Mine is all stripped down and had no rust, so don't think I had water getting in there. But the new parts I got in make a MUCH better seal than the 30+ year old ones that were there.

Around the foot vent area?
There is a white thin foam tape kinda stuff dries out around it
A few screws/bolts hold it in place
