Default Trouble spot infront of rear tires.

Just got my red XD and noticed an area where frozen slush, dirt, snow, and all kinds of things can accumulate.

Does this bother anyone else as it bothers me?
I want that filled with something, -not mice.



If any of you have found a way to fix this please let me know.

Thanks

not really a trouble spot. tc's have a small area like that where stuff can accumulate, but the only thing that has in the 3 years i've had it is some snow and slush. it really isn't anything to worry about.

Snow and slush are bad enough. I'm in the Chicago area and I can see this becoming a rust and corrosion magnet.
Also, I don't wanna drive with an extra 15 pounds of frozen stuff hanging in front of my rear tires.
I'm gonna apply some undercoating soon, and want to find a way to fix this.

Hahahaha, My xA, my Mom's Matrix and my Dad's Camry all have this lil spot where stuff can accumulate. Its not that big of a trouble spot. Just remember to his it with a hose when u wash the car n all the sand n road dirt cleans right out without a problem. There's a coating on it anyway so u shouldn't have to worry about road salt n whatnot rusting the area out. Just clean it out every once in awhile, as long as u don't let all the crud get packed in that area and leave it for extensive periods of time u shouldn't have a problem.
