Default Potential Rust Area??

Anyone else look in the area between the fender,door and side skirt, and found leaves and possibly other debris, anyone know of a way to take the leaves out? btw this was on my dads shadow box with 17,000 its also an 06.5.

here are some pics




The reason im worried is that this is where water also drains and it will make the debris wet and Rot.


Thanks Sam

Leaves will eventually cause rust spots. I've never had any collect on mine cause it's a garaged vehicle only. I would guess you could use compressed air from a high pressure compressor with a spay nozzle or make up something skinny made of plastic to "fish" the leaves out. It's best to not let the leaves collect there. Maybe a shop vac with a tiny tip on the end of the hose???
Mostly tell him to stop parking under trees in the fall!
