Wiper grill/fresh air alternatives ?
 
Tired of junk coming thru wiper grill, suggestions to keep trash out?

and still lets trash in. thanks, 67-C10

I installed these in my Burban and they work good. More of a perforated piece of sheetmetal than a screen. Occasionally I have to pick stuff of of them but its not like it is a weekly chore. I do avoid parking under one of my neighbors trees whenever possible. Some kinds of trees are just too messy.

LockDoc, what did you do to compensate for fresh air intake, after smoothing grill?
I am considering the smooth look, to forever get rid of the junk.

I didn't do anything, there is plenty of open space around it for air intake.

Probably not the cheapest but, this has to be the cleanest looking solution.
