Weird Question. Tree Leaves
 

I park my car outside as the home I am currently staying in doesn't have a garage or anything to protect it from the elements. I park it in the driveway.

There are trees around every where and I try my best to get them off of the car . Noticed they started getting into the rear trunk/tail light areas. In the front windshield wipers and below.

Any tips or links that can point me to the right direction as the important parts I need to get rid of the leaves (electrical motors or filters). Or removal guides to common parts where it builds up?

Every couple months I would remove TONS of random crap from there. I have a makeshift filter made from pool screening in that area. Hope that helps.

Tree turds accumulate in the trunk channel at the bottom.

Rain run off from the back window mixes with the tree grit and assails the tail light gaskets allowing water through.

Everyone thinks the car has a taillight condensation problem.

And the ice that gathers in there during freeze thaw cycles is amazing! The water is supposed to drain off through that channel but when the sun melts the snow on the car and the water heads into the shade of the channel the, boom, you have ice.
I check it every couple of days to make sure I keep it from building up.
Any tree, leaf or dirt in there makes it happen even worse.

Thanks for this. Just checked and my driver said had about a handfull of leaves. the passenger side had none.

Do you have a picture of the makeshift filter you made?

I don't have a picture, but I'll try if I get some time.
