Default Bugs in the GS

anyone else notice or experience bugs in the GS? I've seen one spider and some some other bug crawl out of the front of the car, where the front center speaker is at, and one time I saw a praying mantis (or whatever green bug there is) laying on my cars driver window, my window was lowered, I tried to get it off and it flew in that same speaker area and never came out.

What happened to your center speaker grill? I can't imagine a Praying Mantis fitting in through any normal opening. Those things are big!

Don't park it in the woods. Keep the windows rolled up. Bugs can screw up the electronics if they get into critical areas. Ask your dealer if they have procedures to spray bug killer through the vents or intake.

Hell, reading the headline I thought you meant software bugs. But real live inserts, I think they are OEM options.

I have seen mosquitoes fly into my car when I got in, I have dealt with a couple really obnoxious spiders as well. From your title, I thought you were talking about some of the production issues certain cars have had with bugs getting in during the manufacturing process. Once a car's out there in the real world, bugs are in the real world too, so they'll get in at some point.

That green bug came out today! It flew out of that speaker area, was on the windshield, got a napkin and just took it out. It was in there for 2 full days!

I hate bugs when they get in the dash area cause I can't get to it! They're probably going inside the air vent there, not the speaker grille.
