Just leave 'em there for a few months, they get kinda dry and crumbly, then ya can just flake 'em off...........

no mesh here. My jacket is leather. a damp sponge gets the bugs off nicely, works pretty well on my helmet too

Pull the pads out and spray them with a high pressure hose. Whatever doesn't come off is meant to be there.

Wont the ammonia in the Windex shorten the life of the mesh?

+1

Most DIY spray washes have clamps on the walls for your floor mats. Just hang the jacket on one of the clamps and blast away with high-pressure soap, rinse, and ride.
