> I like the idea of the stainless steel mesh glued under the drain holes. Agreed! Several years ago I glued some of those mesh hose washers used in the water lines of washing machines. They seem perfect--glued on the bottom with the bulge coming up in the drain hole. They turned out not to work very well--the mesh size is too small, so they clog up with dust and little crud. I think a medium mesh on the bottom would work better. I got some aluminum [or aluminium] screen, but procrastinate in removing the luggage carrier since it doesn't rain any more.... Richard |
