I'm constantly getting leaves and some other debris that basically get forever stuck in the lower front grill. The leaves in the pictures below have basically been there since last fall, I waited all winter to see if they would blow out on their own from driving. In the past I've had to vacuum any debris out with the shopvac. Are there any guards aftermarket guards that can cut down on this? Has anyone else had this issue, I've never had this with any other vehicle which is odd.

I’m sure you could add some screen material but that is something I wouldn’t do, I personally use my battery powered leave blower and periodically take care of them in a matter of minutes - my concern would be if you don’t keep up with this is that they would start breaking down and pack the area increasing the chance of trapping moisture then start rusting

I know it’s tedious but I just pick them out by hand. Tried the leaf blower option but doesn’t work well!
