The 2 headlight access cover plates under the hood have ab X pressed into each, should the impression face up or down?

Thanks in advance,
Doug

I believe that the pressed in large X is for panel strength and rigidity.
I also believe that the indent needs to be upwards so no accumulation of water.
Plus, after looking, mine are upward.

Headlght access covers--X is up

And don't forget the ruberr seal that goes between the surfaces that make contact--metal to metal must be avoided

My Jan. 11th, 1969 car does not have these covers (no, they haven´t been lost along the way. There are no holes and nuts underneat to secure the hand turned screws).
