O.K., the box is not streamlined. It is a rolling "Wall" going down the highway.

On numerous long trips over the road especially at night I notice numerous small bugs in the car in the morning. The bigger bugs are plastered all over the nose & windshield (we all know this problem).

It seems the smaller (pin head) nat sized insects are getting through the air filtration system. The bigger bugs must be getting stuck along the way.

Anyone else notice this? Any suggestions on stopping it from happening? (The recirculation switch maybe).
:?

i was actually thinking about making a post about this, but I thought people would think I'm nuts...

Remember, the xB DOES NOT come with a cabin filter. You can buy one (same as echo) or DIY by following the write up on this website.

I HAVE the filter and still get lots of gnats in my car.... so....dunno.....

I have never owned a car with this problem. It is frustrating!

I have a solution, Winter.

I drove my xB over 2000 miles last week and commited a massive genocide about 50 trillion bugs big and tiny, but none ever got inside the car.

dont feel bad about the bugs getting inside the box.- my stepfathers trailblazer is 10X worse with this problem.

I hate BUGS. I have to wash my box every 2 days to keep it clean. Here in KF Oregon, we have these bugs called "midges" which are these tiny green nats that were released by the local goverment to kill mosquitos!... Well guess what- the mesquitos died off , but the Midges TOOK OVER. Recent soil samples show over 1,000,000 larva in a 1 foot by 1 foot area!!

Sorry- I had to vent- you dive across town and you have to get out and wipe off your windshield because its complealy plasterd!!
