I had a look on my 2014 Plus 8.
Yes, it has the holes.
There are some other differences between the 2009 Roadster and 2014 Plus 8 Hoods:
1. The flaps that go over the top of the side-screens are deeper, so better sealing the top of the door.
2. There is a block of foam on the hood top frame that completely closes the gap between the screen pillar and hood rail.
3. It has the new style seals on the screen pillar.
4. There is a block of foam on the front end of the side screen that closes the gap between the side-screen and bodywork.
These small changes do seem to have made a big difference, the car is waterproof when driven in rain.
But I've not parked it in heavy rain.
