I would design them to hold the water, like the other after-market mats.
You know  the ones that hold a cup of coffee...

More (winter) water in the "step" may increase rust problems.  The (salt
laden) water
gets in under the rubber mat and sits there just to be ground in by each
step on the
step.  You might want to think again about channelling more (winter, salt)
water down
there.    Just m2cw.  M
