Very grateful for any help. Photo for attention

I was looking more closely at your photo. It looks like the windshield squirters have been fitted to the hood. What a good idea because the 140 squirters mounted in the cowl are pretty much useless in terms of being able to aim them to spray the glass. Mine do an excellent job of spraying the wiper arm unless the wipers are running when you use the spray.

I don't know whether its just the photo; but, it looks like the vents in the cowl along the base of the front windshield have been sealed off. If that is not a photo illusion is that for strength or some other purpose?
