What is this hole for?

Ok. First question for the team here:
Take a look at the photo. I dont think that hole belongs there, but its clear that it was there from the factory. In case its not clear, the area is in the windshield path looking from the drivers inside out.

I should weld that hole shut, right? There is no drain path below.
Let me know what you think...
Thanks.
Steve

I think that's the hole for a heated windshield wire.

Now that makes perfect sense. Welding it up!
Thanks Shaun!
