Purple Haze

Do you know the part where the rear of the roof meets the well area by the trunk? This is on the outside of the car, the area where sometimes leaves fall and get caught.

Well, I have some tiny pebbles there, I don't know how they got there. My vacuum won't reach there. How can I get them out? How did they get there? Will they drain out by themselves? Where does the debris go when it gets caught in this area?

I know these are a lot of questions. I might add that I first noticed these pebbles after putting the top up after a top down drive without the boot on. Does that have anything to do with how they got there?

unlatch the top and start to put it down- this should loosen the area you describe so you can get out the loose stuff

Thanks, wanabe, I'll try that.

a fine toothbrush and either a raggtopp or 303 cleaner with mild agitation worked for me.

If the pebbles are small enough (If they're big, you'll see them and be able to pick them out), just flush them out when you next wash the car. I've never had any problems with junk getting in there. I don't think the water drain channel is that small, so debris should easily flush away. If you want to know where the water goes, next time before you get started with the wash, put the hose over the back window and run water. You'll see where the water comes out on each side of the car.

I loosened the top, letting it down halfway and this dislodged all of the little debris. I was able to vacuum it all away easily. This has got to be one of the most satisying acts available.
