Default Windshield Cowl Drain Tubes ?

2015 RX350 FWD.

Are there any rainwater drain holes / drain tubes located anywhere on the black plastic windshield cowl below the wipers? I have looked several times but do not see any.

I am aware of the two removeable black plastic hatches on either side of the cowl (which apparently provide access to the front shock bolts).

I don't think that there are any tubes. The plastic has a slope towards the sides and the water is diverted towards the sides.

There were no drain tubes when I took the cowl apart to change my spark plugs. (2010rx)

Thanks for confirming my initial suspicion.
