Cleaning the gutters.... or the holes in the bonnet?

[Phillips321]

Hi guys,

Just seen lots of bullet casings in the grills between the bonnet and the windscreen. I don't care about the cases as i won't be reusing these so am happy for them to fall out, but, are they likely to cause any problems by falling down here?


How do i get them out and will covering these gaps cause a problem?

Thanks

I cover mine with a magnetized vinyl strip when parked up and overnight, stops debris and rain getting in the vent system.




There's a chance a foreign object could make it's way into the heater box, I have a homemade access hole to clear leaves out.
Here's how you do it: http://www2.izook.com/?page_id=258

For removing those casings, I'd get some large tweezers/forceps/extra long needle nose pliers and retrieve them thru the grille slats or, go fishing with a coat hanger

Also, if you open the hood you'll see 2 x rubber 'teats' back near the firewall that hang down for drainage, best check their not clogged too.
