Cowl Screen - Where to buy?

Where are you guys buying the cowl screens to keep leaves and crap out. I spent literally HOURS yesterday cleaning mine out (I know most of you have BTDT). I'd love to give the genius engineer at GM who came up with that design a good solid slap in the back of the head. I don't think mine had ever been cleaned out it was so jacked up. What a mess. Leaves and crap from the vents right up into the cowl, packed solid. Even with the vent doors removed it is pretty much impossible to get a hand or vacuum cleaner hose to all the nooks and crannies where the leaves and muck accumulate. I could feel it with my fingertips but couldn't get them out. I flushed and flushed and flushed with a hose and still couldn't get it all. In desperation I asked my lovely wife if she had any ideas (you know THAT is a desperate move)- in a brief moment of brilliance she suggested "leaf blower?" I was so tired of fighting with it I tried it- worked great. It blew crap out from all over, even out of the vent on the driver side when I was blowing into the passenger side. Its great to get that cleaned out but I am NOT going through that again. What vendor sells the screens? I'd rather just buy a SS one than try to fab up something that might fall off, sag, etc...

Thanks....
