Picked up a new expedition sport 900Ace. Literally the second I took it on a trapline trail I jammed a stick through the very poorly designed air intake screen Anyone have a fix?

they make a material called frog skinz thats adhesive however its more expensive depending on hole size then a replacement screen. i have to replace those all the time on my ace and tundras.
When there is shot in the air, there is hope. When in doubt, throttle out! ATA, NTA, NATCA, ITA

Sounds like I just need to buy some of that and replace it. Awful poor design. The windshield literally directs sticks right into the corner

Does that go straight into the air intake? My Skandic SWT has that same screen on the left side cowling and I stuck a stick through it this week, but it is just into the open space above the belt, not going straight into the air intake, so I figured it would be ok.

Well, it's a vent, meant to keep snow dust and stuff out that goes....somewhere....but to be honest, I haven't looked to see. New sled and all
