You're right about the reduced unpowered air flow, but .... 200

You're probably right about the air flow without the assistance of the motor -- I, too, notice the reduction.

But I think each of us has to decide -- if I lived in an open area (I'm thinking CA where my daughter lives with few trees anywhere), it would be preferrable to leave the vents alone.

Unfortunately, or fortunately (depending on your tastes), I live in the east (at least for a little while longer :-) in a very heavily tree canopied area -- and vacation in New England in a very conifer area. So in either spot I can't leave the car outside for any length of time during three seasons of the year without either tree flower debris, samarra, pine needles, or just garbage falling on the car -- and the snow caps alone help very little, because all that stuff just piles up in front of their opening, ready to be sucked into the mouth of the caps when I start driving -- thus the addition of the screens!

So the choice of using them or not falls to a person's situation and resulting needs.

Best regards,
