My experiences have been different from KK9A.  Open element tips with nothing 
capping them, is just an invitation for spiders, bees, wasps and other flying 
creatures to nest in them (extremely common here in the deep forests of Western 
CT) and their nests block the drainage of water, trapping it inside for it to 
freeze and split the element.  Or, the water stays inside and the weight builds 
up adding to the potential weight and torque imbalances in a heavy wind.

what about shoving plastic scrubbies, or rolled up plastic window mesh in the end. vents the air/water, doesn't let bugs make nests, etc.
