Hello, any best practice how to get the leaves out of the grid next to the bonnet? Thank you.

Isn't there a drain tube or channel large enough to handle some debris? Most I've seen allow a rod or a piece of wire to be pushed through and take the material with it leaving a small pile on the ground under the vehicle.

It would be a tremendous oversight on Ineos' part if you had to remove the wiper arms and the cabin intake grill (or valance?) just to clear a handful of leaves. That would be a tremendous drain on the 12 yr anti-perforation warranty.

Vacuum cleaner ?

Vacuum cleaner ?

Once those little curly leaves get in there a vac is no good. In Oz , the gum and wattle leaves are buggers to remove.
Best to find some way of putting wire gauze under there, unless you live in the city/burbs and never see a deciduous leaf.

Should IA make that a hinged frame so we can access it? Or put a forward facing scoop?

Removing and bonding some flexible stainless open weave mesh underneath might work. Or some polyester pet mesh screening cable tied over the top.

That's what I've done with my 60s Benzes. I just used polyester flyscreen mesh.

Drive in reverse at 70 mph the vacuum caused will suck the leaves out
