Tough to clean out leaves in front vent area?

[luciddaydream]

Sorry for the lazy question --
But is it hard to clean out the leaves that get behind the front vent / splitter area thing?
Do you have to remove stuff?
Thanks.

I think you're referring to the front bumper side vents which I have cleaned by first using my leaf blower to remove looser debris and then removed anything stuck in the creases with these extra long tweezers (purchased on Amazon) with silicone covered tips to avoid scratching the finish. Hope this helps.

Shit.

Shit.

Never got that stuck in there, but I'd use a water hose to get rid of it.

Like this? Somehow some of these bugs got imbedded BEHIND the grill and I can't get them out.

@Dragoon We need a dedicated thread for insect / animal collections. In addition to your bug photos, we have known deer hits and IIRC a squirrel or racoon hit?
I'll try for some fish, but may take a while...

Thanks. Great video.

I meant the stuff that was behind the grill.
Any tips to getting that out?
Thanks.

I normally can blast that out with a pressure washer. Otherwise, I try not to look past the grille if I can help it.

You would likely be the first to get a fish with an Emira, but...
