Since I once was a tool and pattern maker, I tried to think like a German Engineer, and came up with this; the grooves are for installing and adjusting the nozzles. Just a guess.
My car had three of them missing when I got it. I was just going to make some plugs for the holes, since I never use the headlight washers. I once tried the washers to see if they worked, and all it does is make a soapy mess all over the fenders. If I drove in bad weather, they might come in handy, but I never drive the Boxster in that kind of weather so I could care less if they worked at all.

I also think they are pretty useless and a pain in the rear. T mounting on one of mine broke loose and it was evidently accidentally actuated ( I have never intentionally used them ) and it pushed off the little triangular plastic trim piece that surrounds it and it was lost. Not wanting to pay the attrocious price for a new one. Anyone have a used left side one for sale? Thinking of just blocking off the hose going to them so they will not be accidently actuated and replace the trim pieces with the much cheaper solid ones. Anyone know a good pkace to plug the headlight washer hose?
