Sweet & easy!
That's sort of what I had in mind at first, a slot system so you could change out a plate with small/few holes for big/many holes.

On another thread I stated where after driving in the rain, I looked at the dry rain marks and the side areas seem to show the most pressure so I think I might do one flush but block it from the sides.
