      I want to say 2014-2016? It was bizarre, but the dealership didn’t seem to have any notion that it was a real problem. Just kept hearing back “Oh yeah, sounds like it needs blown out again” whenever it happened.

      And it was never a problem right after it was serviced, just in the month or two before it was due to be serviced again. It seemed like there was a SOP that could address it, it just required frequent maintenance to be able to handle rain falling on the roof.

        That’s so weird. I know two people with that model year who don’t have that issue. Your comment spurred me to ask around. Very weird, sorry you had to deal with that.

          Yeah, like I said, it sounds like normal maintenance is enough to keep up with the “typical” use case. We live in an area with a lot of trees, and had nowhere to park it where debris didn’t clog it fast, apparently. They did recommend we park it in the garage at one point, but… the car was longer than our garage! Seemed silly to renovate our house to expand our garage when the problem was that the car wasn’t built to shed dirty rainwater safely, so we sold it and got a shorter car instead.
