My car has been leaking down the door on the inside from somewhere so I followed the drain tube thread and realized its in fact the drain tube. It seems disconnected however I can't seem to figure out where the other end is. Here's what I found but I can't figure out where the other tube end is.
The front ones are fairly easy to see as they are really short:
As for the rear, they exit at the hatch. When the hatch is open, you can see the two rubber grommets near the hinges. Here's a post with good pictures.
Is it the front or the rear drain? The front ones are fairly easy to see as they are really short: As for the rear, they exit at the hatch.

front, so it should have a small connection to the insulated white tube?

It's actually the metal tube you see right below it on this picture, this is how I found the rubber tube when I lowered the headliner. The tube is off and sitting against the drain metal tube. That white insulated thing is the airbag.
Not sure what thread you saw, but HERE is another with close up shots of the front drain tube. Can't really tell from your images, but in that thread the individual added hose clamps to keep it from coming off.
