Default Tree blossoms falling all over car

I tried doing a search for this with no luck, so I thought I'd ask. My driveway has a giant tree next to it that has a bunch of blossoms falling off of it. Not only is this f'ing annoying, but the blossoms are getting in between the area where the top meets the body of the car. I try to blow the blossoms out / pick them out, but many get caught. Is this damaging? Also, how can I clean that area out? Can I remove some trunk carpeting or whatever and vacuum it?

Oh good golly darn it the other day I was trying to get a leaf off my top at the same area and it ended up falling in the crack too lol. I'm assuming theres a drain there that goes to the ground somehow. All those leaves falling on your car might clog it up aha.

open up your top a quarter of the way to get access to that area and use a hair dryer to blow it out.

It all ends up in the rain gutter at the bottom of the roof. The gutter runs the entire length of the top, and drains into drain tubes, right behind the door, under the motor arms. Leaves will be there for a while, but they will eventually decay enough to be washed out. No big deal.

Pretty much. Don't worry about water. Leaves will stay there until they decay and that can be a long time.
