This is exactly what I did: I used Al window screen over the ends held
on with small hose clamps. This would work just as well if I stuffed
some in the ends of the tubing and allows water that enters to exit.

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.
