SXR SXR Hood Questions

New to the scene just have a few questions about my SXR hood.
Capture8.PNG First of all what are those black tubes and what do they do?
Capture9.PNG I also noticed that when i latch my hood down the left side doesn't go as far down as the right, is this a common problem or am i just obsessing over something that doesn't mean anything.

The tubes are for air to get in....while taking any water that may come with it....down to the bottom of your hull so it can exit.

Your hood looks fine IMO.....is the hood seal in nice shape?
