Fender well debris.

Anyone else having this issue. Just about every leaf or pine needle is finding its way into my front fenders and sticking out the sides. Is there a fix for this without having to remove the plastic wells, or is there an issue with just my model? I was not really concerned about it until this past week with our freak snow storm and application of salt on the roads.

Mostly pine needles for me. I routinely pull them out. There are lots of pine trees where I park. They gather under the hood hinges and work their way down into the wheel well area and then stick out the sides. I have no debris buildup like you're showing - just the protruding needles.

I have some fir trees planted in my yard as well and we have a lot of dirt roads, so I am sure its an accumulation of all of it. I cant see how to get to the area without taking body panels off. The top is welded over. Bout the only thing I can try and do is get my pressure washer in there somehow and flush it out.
