Default What to do with the leaves on the convertible

I'm just curious about this. My driveway has 2 big trees and this being Fall, the leaves fall like crazy. I try to pick what I can off i nthe morning, but some are on the bottom. I try to pick it out, but the top opens up hole and the leaf falls through. Where do these leaves go?

Classic.

I believe that the channels around the bottom of the soft top end up in a collector/funnel type area just behind the doors. I remember seeing something like that in my Honda service manual.

Any way to clean out the funnels without removing the top?

thats great.

I know the feeling about the leaves. Not to many here in Nebraska, but a ton at my work, so i try not to park under them. I pay for it dearly when i do, or forget about it.

omg! I was hoping it would fall through the car! You mean to say I have leaves collecting in my car? Some of those leaves have bugs on them as well. I saw a beetle squeeze its way down there once. If only XVIPER WAS HERE TO SAVE THE DAY!!!
