some previous mercedes models and some other cars i've seen have a grill in the hood just ahead of the windshield before the wiper recess that if i recall correct is ducted to the ventilation.

maybe with modern climate controle and filters natural airflow has become less important, but since i'm running the fan a lot i'm looking for ways to reduce my electrical load (as long as that dousn't bring any new drag)
