I was up under my car some time ago, and noticed some fuzz between the HE and radiator. Stuck a coffee stirrer up there and scraped out tons of stuff- leaves (whole and decomposing), bugs, plastic. Had to use a ruler to reach far up enough to get everything out. Car seems to run slightly cooler, looking at the cluster. coffee stirrer stuck in debris less debris visible than was removed, I removed some halfway through the process
The bottom 5-7 inches of the rad and HE were stuffed all the way across.
