I didn't want to hijack Seasparrows car cover thread so I'll start one of my own. We live in northern lower Michigan, and it is heavy woods. Our yard has very tall pines, Maples, Oaks, and Poplars. Autumn is now here and the leaves and needles are falling and all over the place. This year we have a bumper crop of acorns as well. If you have to leave your vehicle outside for any length of time you will be covered in this stuff. The wiper well is a real catch all and it is tough to clean this garbage out of the well. I was just wondering what the rest of you do to keep this area clean or protected. Right now the Runner is in the garage, but if I need to work on something it has to stay out and collect mother natures treasures.
