I’ve had that happen 2-3 times so far. It’s super obnoxious, I’m honestly thinking about getting the Verus brake cooling kit since it replaces that wavy guard with a flat plate that hopefully wouldn’t have this problem.
It's a stone between that thin aluminum inner guard and the rotor, but all you need to do is push the guards inward by a few millimeters so there's just a touch more clearance between them and the rotors. It was happening all the time with my car - there's too much gravel on the road here - but hasn't happened once since.
Tried that, didn’t help. Maybe you have smaller gravel there?
Luckily my car stays in the garage when not in use. It got pretty bad for a while, even some decent sized hail. Luckily no tornados too close to the city.
Cool to hear this worked for you. To me it sounds like the smaller stones can no longer get stuck however now bigger stones can whereas before they were too big to even get in there. I guess it’s just an unfortunate part of life especially if you live in an area that believes throwing tiny marbles on the road “improves” traction during the winter.
