Hi
I put in screens, home made ,a few years ago. I live on a farm, dust in summer, rain in winter. Van parked outside ( that’s changing soon).
My screens clog up with dirt, and also some green… algae? ….
And I get a roof top tank!
I get a whoosh of water over windscreen at end of driveway when I stop . Then a side whoosh of water when I accelerate out of driveway into road.
Even worse with around zero temps , Celsius ,with slush up top.
If rather have clear draining holes to side of luggage tray as others have done. Other is we I just have to remember to clear the mesh on the drainage holes.
