Tired of cleaning trunk drains 850

Every day I check the trunk drain holes and somehow they attract maple tree seeds.
You know those pesky little one blade propellers that are just right to plug up
the trunk deck drains.

I cut two small sections of some scrap brass screen about 1 1/2" square
and brought out a box of drill bits and used one very sloppy in the hole,
just press the screen in 3/8-1/2" or so and flatten the rest.

It's gotta be easier to flip stuff off those screens than dig out all that compost with a bicycle spoke or hope the leaf blower works.

    Have you check the sunroof drains??

    I found similar stuff when I clean the rear drains inside the trunk. During fall, I make it a point not to park under the threes when possible.

      I cleared some mess out of the sunroof with the leafblower, but never looked for
      drains, where are they?

      The little screens are working well so far.
