Hi Worane
Wouldn't worry too much , its just to filter the air /pollen that enters the cabin, worth having though

Thanks Craig, I asked at my local after market servicer of my Rover today and he thought it was just to keep the leaves out of that area.
I worry about some of his answers sometimes!

...... it's more a screen! a pollen filter it definitely ain't. It's quite crude and just keeps bugs and leaves out of the plenum which if you've ever had a gum leaf sucked thru and caught up in the fan - :twisted: "flick flick flick flick flick flick flick flick flick flick flick flick flick flick flick flick flick flick flick flick flick flick".......:mad::twisted:) you'd never want to be without that foam strip ever again!!
