Question Q about door seals + rain

before the rubber seal there's a sort of fabric/cloth.
Is it normal that this becomes wet during rain?
Seems to me that it's gonna rot pretty soon this way...

It's also wet after washing the car which is twice weekly for me.

Stop obsessing about trivialities before you drive yourself over the edge.

It is not an organic substance , but probably made from vinyl material ,so it will not rot.
I do think though that MB could have made the bottom of the inside trim of a harder more durable substance than the woven material which seems to mark if a shoe inadvertantly comes in contact.
