Leaves and Junk in Wiper Cowling Openings? 2nd Gen. CX-9

:
2018 CX-9 GT
I have these maple trees that drop those little 'helicopter' seeds and they get into the windshield wiper cowling openings are are very hard to get out, even with a shop vac. I don't want to have to remove the front cowling to clean out all the leaves and junk that has fallen down in there. I 'think' I read that the '19 or '20 models have some sort of small screening or something to mitigate this (I could be wrong). Anyone else having this issue and have figured-out a solution? Thanks.
