Default 7th ES 350 Front Grille is a “Leaf Catcher”

Each fall/winter, I struggle with the amount of leaves that get trapped in the massive empty space between the grille and radiator. Does anyone know of an easy way to access this space to clean out the leaves? Surely Lexus engineers thought about this when designing the ES350’s front end?

Yep I just opened mine a week or two ago to clean it out. The clips don't seem to reattach that easily though - anyone else experience that?

I do with the holes were smaller. I can fit my entire hand between the slats. Smaller holes would give better aero too. This is why the new grill is nicer.

Low key thinking of trading for a 2022. (not cause of the grill) lol

I don't think you could do that on the FSport grill though
