I've never understood that early design either. Looks like an unfinished product. Maybe the designers wanted easy access to the wiper mechanism? Hard to say, as German engineering has its quirks. Nevertheless, they did eventually extend it, but in the process used a crappier material - very thin and brittle. The early stock cowl cover like my 78 has (a half cover) is a thicker more robust material. The one Jerry makes is the full length, and very well made and robust. That is the way to go.
