Leaves get past Zunsport Grills
Does anyone have a clue how leaves get past Zunsport grills? I have the full package of covers on the front facing grill sections as well as the oil cooler protection underneath. I've got several leaves in the center radiator section as well as both of the outside coolers - not bits of leaves, but full leaves. I look under the car and around the surfaces on the grill where it mates to the Zunsport protection grills, and can't figure out how they got in there. Anyone got any ideas?
Maybe need to drive faster so they disintegrate...LOL |

I appreciate the recommendation of pics, but really there is nothing to snap a picture of. There are leaves between the grills and the radiators. Why they are there if the grills are tight and there doesn't seem to be any way in there is a mystery to me.

Probably entering via the kidney grilles and dropping down between the back of the bumper and the radiator.

I have the very occasional leaf in the side grill. Easily removed. If this is the worst issue you have- then you are ok. Zunsport is good protection.

I have the zunsport and I some how have a leaf trapped between the radiator and the radiator mesh, both of which are behind the zunsport. I imagine it got sucked up and in.

For the sides, they get in through this opening. You can see a leaf back there in this pic. I long, skinny vacuum attachment gets them out.

They are pesky leaves...they get in your garage...somehow they get into the grill...sometimes I think it is like the magical power of the clothes dryer to lose socks, how do they get in there!!!...but in general during my first robust and blustery fall with my M2 I am not getting too many leaves sucked into the giant manta ray maw that is the front of my car. I sucked 5-10 leaves out with my shopvac. No problem.
