I installed a supplemental cowl screen guard but looking for a trunk leaf guard idea for a 4-door 940. That large gap is a leaf collector, blocks water flow plus leaves get in the trunk and allow water to seep past the gasket. My 940 wagon and the 240 has smaller gaps and have lesser leaf problems.

    Have never seen such a thing, doubt it exists!

    But feel your pain, in the Northwest, living among the trees, it is a chore to keep all the leaves and pine needles (even worse than leaves) out.

    Even the 740/940 front leaf guard doesn't work--it gets packed and then you have to still get the garbage out. I'm afraid there is no solution other than just old fashioned elbow grease!

      Truth... we moved from the PNW 7 1/2 years ago and I STILL find fir needles in that gap and in the corners of the trunk from time to time.

      To fix the front leaf guard, I removed it from the sticky goo holding it in place in the cowl. I then sandwiched fibreglass window screen between the cowl grill and the screen below and reinstalled using new butyl rubber tape, reinforced by small zip ties threaded through and tied to the cowl grill. The window screen has very small openings that prevent seeds, needles and leaf parts from dropping through and allows you to vacuum off the top of the cowl very easily.
      The rear trunk lid gap? I have no clue how to fix this. Maybe some kind of stiff plastic tape applied to the underside of the trunk lid might cover the gap.
