Screens on the front of the grill will let leaves and debris fall off easily, or be washed off by rain. A screen placed inside of the grill can allow leaved and debris to get packed in the grill and trapped. The Telluride does not have a very deep grill, so this is not as bad of a possibility as with some cars. There is also much open area above, but I still need to be cautious recommending where these are installed.

Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Here are pictures of my installation of Telluride Screen. I went the easy way by using the ties (come with the package). I did not bother to take the bumper off.
For those with license plate, you will need to trim the top part about 1/4", and the two protrusions aligning the plate to the bumper by about 1/2". I used a dremmel tool with the small cutting wheel.
I bought the TellurideScreen from Stephen O'Hara's website. He has been extremely helpful and communicative. As others have mentioned, he has 3 versions of the screens. Black (as in my pictures), stainless mesh welded, and stainless mesh woven.
The pictures are no screen, screen, screen and license plate.

I'm glad you like your TellurideScreens, Zamboni! They look great. Drive with confidence!!
BTW, for those with a front license plate. I have found that you only need to remove about 1/2" of the protrusions on the bracket. The bracket itself will bend a little bit and the edge of it doesn't have to be trimmed if you don't want to do that.
HTH,

I purchased and attached screens on my 2021, they fit perfectly. Worth the money to prevent larger issues and they look good too.

Steve, looking to add mine on next week after the Xpel treatment being added this week. Since I do have the front license plate, I will have to modify the bracket so will see how that goes. Question for you on the upper grill. Any thought on making a mod for that area? The grill has many openings for those rocks to come through. The only thing I can think of is to add some wire mesh to the front and cut out a pattern to fit the area where the openings are. Just thinking it might look tacky.

Hi JP#,
No problem! The license plate bracket is very straight forward to modify, not a big deal. I do have a screen in mind for the upper grill, but it will be a bit before I can get to that. BUT, if a Telluride were to pull up in the VoltShop's driveway here in Rochester, NY, it would change the timeline dramatically....
The upper gill is very open, but it is less of an issue than the lower grill, from my experience with many cars. The reason is simply the laws of physics at work. In general, the bigger the rock coming at you, the bigger the threat it presents. And bigger rocks tend to fly about down lower. So, while things can happen higher up, the lower areas are much more likely to need the protection.
HTH!
Steve

@Kwim are you still selling screens? If so, how do I order?The two piece set is $68. This includes shipping within the Continental US. (Shipping to Canada adds $16.) Each individual piece is $36 if you would like only one of them.

So, the Telluride is a great ride, but it is becoming clear that it has a flaw. AC condensers and radiators are being punctured by rocks and debris that easily pass through the wide open lower...voltshelf.weebly.com
