Hi all

 

I am looking for a photo of a carbon rim / wheel which was damaged by the heat from a car exhaust. If you do have one, please post it.

Yea, guys are normally informed after the fact that Thule has a heat deflector... specifically for the Fortuner :eek:

Thule Xpress 2 VS Cayenne exhaust. 

Afterwards, the rack was modified so the bike sits level and away from the heat. Insurance paid out no problem.
