Has anyone else come across this issue? Where the rear reflector is like peeling off, has come unseated.

Is it melted? Do you have aftermarket exhaust?

The exhaust is causing it to do that, I have already replaced a set and have moved my tips further out to help reduce the heat. so far so good..
My driver side was worse than the passenger side.

I had that same thought. My tips were almost flush with the bumper cover, so I slid them back today after I read this thread.

Mine melted from exhaust heat, pretty hot from MBRP street exhaust and lots of high rpm runtime on track days. Both left and right sides were curling up from the corners. So I just pulled them off....no replacement

I've got the same thing going.







I really don't want to move my exhaust out any farther!

Where did you buy replacements, and is it quick/easy to replace?

I guess I need to stop getting on it so much.....or just not worry about 'em :D

That's why I have my pipes further out from the bumper.

Here's a pic showing what it looks like if you just remove them, and don't plug the small holes left behind. Nearly unnoticeable....

Sorry for the late response....

I got them from Autonation Ford. They have them advertised on Ebay. I believe it was $65 for both. You can find cheaper versions but I wanted OEM. I have had them on and exhaust tips adjusted for 3K miles and no more melting...:D
