I had my Gen 5 outside for 5 years. Never got clogged up. Works as designed, nothing wrong here.

You can get water on that part, the light housing is equipped and can get wet.

Every time I wash my car I always dry those spots by the trunk hinges

wash your car and run the water by the trunk for a while

Lots of soot/dirt in these crevices (both sides); looks like the wind deposited all this dust and leaves in it (I park the girl outside

)

Now I'm not sure how to clean it out, I can't just run a hose on it, the opening leads to the taillights. Again, does water go through there seeing that so much dirt can get in, I'm sure water does too.

Any ideas?

I don't want to damage anything.

WTF is a baby-maro?

That's alot of sand. Im not sure where you live but if the builds up in only a few weeks your paint is gonna have a ROUGH life.

Desert landscape here in So Cal, Valley and High Desert. I wax often and use carnauba quick-detailer after every wash.

Are you suggesting I run water to clean that? where does the water exit?

Behind the rear fascia/bumper cover. It just drains down onto the ground.
