That mesh is for rubbing, basically to prevent something rubbing against it and wearing down the rubber eventually causing a leak. If it's been rubbed through or frayed because of age you could replace it. But it depends on it location as well wether or not it would need replacing.

Just take the hose off, trim it and throw a zip tie around it and it won't fray

yeah it just needs to be slid back up. If you have ever played with Chinese finger cuffs you will know how to do it.
You basically need to push it all the way down and then with it compressed slide it back up. It is hard to explain but it works

Just a heads up, if you remove that mesh covering then your car will explode.
