So it pretty much gets air from the hood opening by the wind shield and through the openings/gap in that plastic thing. I'm trying to get my head around where stuff enters the "system", since it seems we collect a lot of crap. I'm thinking some sorts of mesh to protect the gaps that the plastic cover leaves, so that you can easily catch and then remove large debris (leaves, paper and plastic pieces, mainly).
