Window screen used as a skin on vehicles sensitive to crosswinds ?

Has the topic of window screen used as a skin on vehicles been discussed recently ?
This provides a surface for air to skip over, but also one that allows crosswinds to pass through.

There is a large metal chainlink fence at my job.
It takes maybe 30 lbs of force to close it, yet even a moderate breeze will cause it to slide on its railing and slam shut.

I know some of you sail boats.
I had no idea that wind would have so much pull on such a small surface area.
