This tire carrier has seen 2 winters and it looks like this. I'm going to contact Teraflex to see if they will do anything for me. Anyone else having this issue?

Tell them their carrier is a pile of junk.

The carrier works as it should. My gate is still as tight as new. Even the powder coat on the carrier itself is in perfect condition. The hinges now as you see needs some attention. I've emailed them, I wait to see what their reply is.

I'll be happy if the send me a new set. That gives me options.

Best advice I can give aside from getting rid of it, is since you live in a part of the country that is called the rust belt, I would paint everything myself. You can pretty much forget the new one, if you do get a new one, would hold up.

To be fair, this kind of rust can/would happen to ANY parts manufacturer. This is especially true in the Midwest and northeast. My EVO 1/4 started rusting in SoCal.

That doesn't mean OP shouldn't trash this dangerous POS carrier for all the known flaws and breaks of this carrier. The rust just provides an easy time to get rid of this hunk of junk!
