Being a "OLD Radiatorman" it was proven, the bug screens knock off approx. 15% of your cooling. Don't block off any airflow to your radiator. Just my 2 cents of advice.:B
I would have guessed a higher % of blockage. In the Fire Dept the rule of thumb was that the window screens reduced airflow by 1/2 when ventilating. I know... Apples and oranges. I don't have any additional screens on any off my vehicles, but I do rinse the radiators out every once in a while and straighten out any bent fins.
