Acorns/debris inside ZL1 hood

When I open the hood, something is rolling around inside. I suspect a couple of acorns found their way in.

Has anyone else dealt with this?

I don't see an easy way to get them out.

Did you try pulling the water deflector? 3 bolts at the front of your heat extractor.

Take an air compressor and start blowing air in odd areas...You won't believe what starts coming out.

I was drying my car a few weeks ago and started blowing out the front end from the inside and dead bugs were coming out like snow.

Make sure you don't have a squirrel taking shelter under the hood! They will chew wires!!! Do you park it outside or under a carport?

I had / have something between the hood skins as well, sounded like a loose washer sliding around. Pulling the water deflector under the hood didn’t help (it doesn’t really trap anything at that point).

Compressed air will be about all you can do as Can’thave2muchHP stated.
