    Driving on the highways ...never removes everything...from this wind shield wiper areas..
    It is a holding spot..for rubbish...maybe only me..?
    Any solutions? ..ok I know don’t drive there...or leave your truck on property...

    It happens. Could put a truck cover on it, or just an old blanket to cover that spot when parked.

    Are you talking about the area just under the hood and below the windshield?
    That’s been a gathering place for years. Well into the 2nd Gen trucks.
    I have to clean mine every time I open my hood.

    Not a lot you can do yo stop it from happening, other than don’t park outside.
    Which isn’t an option for me. So I just deal with it. I don’t want to fool with a truck cover.

    I can think of something to prevent that but I can’t say it’ll work

    Be sure to clear out the areas right by where the fender meets the windshield. Stuff plugs up the water drains there. Also leaves like to make there way down there and gather at the base of the fender (by the front edge of the door).. these leaves stay wet and can rot out that area.
