Denny I put the screen protectors up on my gutters, what I find is as soon as a leave lands the right way on them it creates a path for water to flow over it and down bypassing the gutter. This always seems to happen right over where I walk into the house.
I'm going to look into the inserts that Dan posted the link to from Sams.
