Default A Dumb MER question

From what I've read and heard about the MERs, they will stop working after a
few months only because Mars dust will cover top of the solar panels. If
this is the case, why didn't the MERs include a little automated air blower?
It seems like a simple solution. Does any knowledgeable person know the
answer?
