Any ideas?
I doubt that scoop would do much good even if it was "functional". Most cars have a low pressure, "dead" area close to the hood. The area at the bottom of the windshield is usually higher pressure, hence the "reverse" inlets/scoops that you sometimes see.

If you have a scoop to hide the hole, it doesn't have to look real pretty.
