I think the sheet metal is too hard for their little claws to gain purchase and climb up. Also thinking of a curl over at the top to make it impossible for them to get over the steel wall.

Just a thought.

Now if mice can parachute down, all bets are off.
Pretty sure they can jump fairly high onto something under the car.

One trick I have heard that doesn’t keep them out, but keeps their damage down is to leave lots of easy bedding material for them to get to so they don’t tear apart foam and fabric from places you like.
