We live in the woods and usually park the BL in the garage, but when it's been left outside I noticed that a lot of what falls on the windshield and slides down by the wipers ends up on the fender liners and it slides down where the liner meets the fender and the plastic encapsulated foam that's press-fit in place.
On the driver's side, we were able to get most of the debris with a crevice tool on a small Shop Vac.
The passenger side is another story. The windshield washer fluid reservoir is right there at the top. There is enough of a gap for the stuff from the wiper area to get past it, but no way to clean it out without taking out the reservoir.
There may be some way to clean the area out from below, I haven't looked into that.
BTW -- I recall seeing a thread about this issue but I could not find it or I would have posted there. The person's concern was the same as mine -- that leaves and dirt will build up and become a moisture trap.
