I just wanted to say that I was not ignoring your post, I just have
no idea what to tell you. My car makes the same noise, but that is
because I left it sitting for three years, and have yet to vacuum out
the actual leaves that accumulated in the rain tray and various other
parts of the car. In fact, I sometimes even get the smell of burning
leaves to accompany the sound of crunching leaves.

Sorry, I don't yet know much about cars, so I really don't have
anything informative to say. I mainly ask questions, and enjoy the
spirit of the community here.







The goal is to overcome the deliberate nature of the process.
