Do you know what percentage of blockage the mesh creates? I looked at some mesh material one time for this same purpose (on a different car) and found the mesh had only about 68% of open area. I'm not sure that reducing airflow by 32% is a good idea. Although if yours is of a more open design, it probably works fine.
