Leaves / junk getting in above rear hatch

[kashmir]

Hopefully this isn't too non-tech for tech, but if the flashlight thing is ok, I'm posting this!

I keep my truck outside and am amused/annoyed about how many leaves/sticks/junk gets stuck in the upper part inside the rear hatch. Sometimes that junk falls inside while the hatch is up.

Anyone have any tricks to deal with that?

Yep. I clean it.

Same boat, just have to do a simple swipe of the hand when you notice there's s*** there.

very funny guys

It is parked under trees so there's always tons of leaves in there and swiping it is what causes the junk to come into the truck. I just don't want bugs going in there too is mostly my issue (still not used to texas bugs, that's a whole 'nother can of worms)

I was hoping there was some way to put some extra liner up there or something that wouldn't block the hatch from opening, but I guess I'm the only one with this peeve...

I park my truck under a live oak at home and at work and have the same issue. I use a soft bottle brush to brush it out and just keep the brush in the back.
More of a concern is the debris that collects inside the front fenders. You can see it if you shine a flashlight in through the door opening. It comes in through the hood and goes down through the hinge opening. I blow it out with air and then flush it out with a hose a couple times a year. If you don't it will turn into dirt and mud and rot out the fender from the inside.
