[BigBlue7]

Anyone know what this plastic mesh stuff is called and where I can buy more of it?

It looks just like the stuff you can buy at Home Depot for gutters to keep leaves out of down-spouts. I've also seen similar stuff sold by Moose Racing off-road motorcycle gear for filling in the open area between the engine and skid-plate on dirt bikes (normally it fills up with mud, bakes with the heat of the engine, and turns into a brick that makes the engine run hotter).

When I took my top off I saw that crap, was half tempted to toss it and replace with foam. I can't see any function that it serves, but I left it there, still wondering what the hell it does.

Anyone know?

The channels above are drains. If filled with closed-cell foam, then the efficiency of the drain is compromised. No big deal during the summer or warmer latitudes. But for those that live where it freezes, trapped water going through a freeze/thaw cycle might lead to damage. The mesh keeps crap from entering the channels.

I understand what it's for. Just want to know what it is so I can buy more or something similar

Search for "open cell foam" on Amazon and you may find something very close.
