I can see right underneath the bonnet of my car at the bottom of the windscreen, through to where the battery is. Also in heavy rain, water collects in the battery well and opposite and on top of the engine. Should there be a guard here to stop this?

there should be drain holes there to let the water out - probably clogged.

This is the way the 924 is designed.
There should be drain holes as the front of your battery tray/box. They are covered with rubber flaps which sometimes stick, or, as suggested, they may be filled with gunk.

the only p-car that I am aware that they did this on is the 928, and they still had drain holes underneith, and guess what,
they still got plugged
