How do we clean the leaves and FOD from the front coolers? If you pull the bottom plate can you access these? It could be a problem down the line??

Love the aviation terms, hopefully you do not have damage though...

I have a plastic tube that I attach to my vacuum that fits through the grill openings, lets me pull leaves and other junk out, it may not suck them up, but it lets you pull them out.

Good luck, Chris

Craftsman has a vacuum attachment kit for their shop vacuum that allows access through the grill for easy removal of leaves and crap.

Glad I'm not the only one this OCD.
