Default cowl vent screen

Hi,
99 cherokee xj, I noticed a lot of leaves in the cowl area (where the washer pump is). Is there suppose to be a screen material (under the cowl vents) there that is suppose to block it ?

YES! definitely. That can actually be a big deal. Stuff built up in there can help it rust out and really ruin your day. Think wet feet, wet carpet, foggy windows. Look at some others...both my 84 and my 90 have "foe" , (fake), blocking it on the right side, then pretty small screen on the left. You should fix that!
