Just a heads up.

I saw a leaf sticking of this rubbery cover near the bottom of the front fender and go to pull it out and found a shit ton of leafs/debris. Check passengers side and nothing. So just a fair warning to everyone. Not sure how it got there. Haven’t driven through any piles of leafs.

 

I just noticed the same thing this past weekend after washing my truck. I found a ton of leaves on the drivers side. I think the way the windshield cowl is shaped on the drivers side just allows the leaves to fall into the void behind the wheel.

 

Good lord. That’s some quality design. Let’s funnel the debris inside the fender.

 

I have had ice built up in there all winter. Probly the same deal . Windshield melts and runs down that channel. Peace. D

 

Yeah. And having an easy/obvious way to clean them out is a really good design.

 

I cleaned mine out this weekend. Looks like someone dropped a deuce in there!

 

I had to replace a fender on a VW Jetta the other day and no lie I bet a pound of crap was imbedded behind the inner splash shield at the bottom of the fender
Pretty much all cars have that issue

 

Cleaned mine once already this winter.Ill do it again soon .Not a great design.Still love the truck

 

My 2015 Taco has the same issue. So I was aware of it, but forgot about it lol Thanks for your post.
