Default Easiest way to remove debris from between hatch and roof crevice?
Looks like leaf debris and such found a home in the crevice. What's the best way to get in there and remove?

Remove the hatch? It's a tight pivot on the hinges.

Thanks

I removed the rear sun visors and trim from the upper portion of the hatch. Also pulled the upper section of the hatch seal loose. This will give you enough room to give that area a good cleaning.

Compressed air - lots of it, and vacuum running to catch debris. Worked...

Glad you asked this. I keep meaning to post the same question every time I detail my car and always forget. I'm pretty sure I have some REALLY old leaves in there.

No problem - I did end up with about 1/2 the leaves ending up in the trunk, back seats, and carpet... Nothing another 6 or 7 minutes with the vacuum.
