Good idea but I wouldn't know where to start to make that work, nor do I have a way of testing to see how much air is flowing through the screen. Also I don't know how that would be adjustable for higher heat situations to allow more flow through... Say at 25mph the fabric stops pulling in additional air; Well that isn't going to change, but what if it is 100F+ outside and you need more air traveling through at speeds above 25mph. The only option at that point would be to remove it or cut holes in it.

Definitely a great idea for colder climates.
