Is anyone having trouble with leaves and tree debris collecting on the sides of the trunk where the plastic trim pieces meet the body metal. My concern is that this is a good spot for corrosion to start because whatever collects here blocks the water drainage.

I have some of that going on too. You have to keep the debris cleaned out or you might get some mold in there. It's a pita to keep clean too.

I remove what I can & then use a vacuum to remove the rest. Perhaps the wife or gf will do it for you while you watch?
