Default Convertible top and fall leaves

This is my first convertible so excuse the dumb question but, you know in the back where the top "attaches" to the frame of the car? Well the first cool breeze kicked in today along with rain and there were so many leaves back there... I dusted them off but a lot just went in... i can stick my hand in the area between the top and the car frame and i feel water and leaves in there but it's too tight to get anything out.

Is there some kind of gutter system in there? Or will all those leaves cause any problems? I can't really see any way of getting them out, and two hours later the car is already covered again so it's going to be pretty pointless. Maybe I'm just being too paranoid but I've never had a vert before.

I can stick my hand in pretty far, I'm talking about the area on the sides... I can't get in that far along the back. There's no water leaking inside.
I just had this top installed 2 months ago by the best upholstery guy in town.

you're fine. if you want to clean in that space, drop your top part way. That should give you some more space to work with.

There is a gutter system, so I doubt you have anything to worry about.
