Yeah, the cabin filter is pretty much exposed underneath the plastic cowling cover. It doesn't exactly look right, seems like it should need a cover and it doesn't fit in there very tight, but that's simply how it is...

Hi,

#1 - If the battery is sealed, you do not need the vent tube. It's purpose is to prevent buildup of the explosive gas.

#2 - The cabin air filter has a cover, once removed, the filter is just lying there.

#3 - You have the 4-spoke steering wheel. A retaining Frame (PN# 993.347.088.01) underneath the airbag contains 4 rubber bushings which float the assembly over the Horn Contacts. These bushings tear with time and then the slightest jostle, weight transfer from barking, etc. cause the contacts to close and the horn to sound. Replacment bracket is under $50 and an easy fix.

#4 - Yes, it does serve to direct any water to the drains.

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
