Question my cab is a dust bowl!

Howdy guys, I have a similar post in "body" section, but I think this will be a better place. My 72c20 cab fills with dirt, dust, leaves, etc when ever I open the vents. Is there any parts I am missing to keep that stuff out? When I first opened the vents, a ton of leaves and garbage fell out of them. I have taken the shop vac to them, but if it sits under an oaktree for a day or two, filled up with leaves again! Maybe some homemade cures? Let me know what you think, thanks, AC

You need a screen that mounts under the cowl. You can buy one or make yourself.
