Don't know how good it is at stopping pollen - think it's more to stop grit and leaves getting in the blower.

    If it was easy Id just do it for the sake of it but seeing as its abit envolved its not worth it. Better off just driving in swimming goggles to keep out the pollen

    I imagin so, most cars after a certain date pretty much had them as standard but you wouldnt know unless you trail through old main dealer service records to see if the dealer ever changed them.
