What's best for Cleaning leaves out of the engine compartment?

[Rob4570]

I have a 2020 Spyder RT. I have found that it is a vacuum. Is it possible to raise it up on ramps and remove the skid plate to wash or blow out the leaves I have fond in there? Please be kind.

Yes, there are two panels on the underside that are fairly easy to remove. Each one has a torx screw and 3 plastic push pins. The plastic pins can be a challenge, especially going back in. You can get to both of these using car ramps. Either then just pull debris out by hand, or use a shop vac.

Although this isn't a direct reply to your question, you might want to look into Kotts grills. Lamonster sells them and we've found they do a good job at keeping rubbish from entering the intake openings.

Or, trade for F3L. One of the reasons that I did. RTL was was like a road vacuum on multi day trips. Loves grasshoppers in the Midwest.
