Default Leaves in the convertible top?

Leaves:


This year has been worse than I remember but leaves are getting in the seam between my top and the body and clogging it up and then getting all nasty and gooey from moisture!

I'm not sure there is any way to avoid this, just wondering if anyone else has this issue in the fall season?

I just try and not park beneath any trees, seems to help the problem.

around this time of year I usually walk around my car as well if I see any leaves, and pull any out.

Just don't leave your car under a tree.

I wish it were that easy. when I park at the office the leaves blow from the tree line 50 yards away! We get some serious winds around here.

I have been pulling leaves off my top daily for the past 2 months. I have to partially lower it and vacuum out the scuzzy crap every week or two.

That may be my solution. "Partially Lower it" to allow me to reach down in the seam.
