I track my 997s and use a trailex trailer to get her to the track. My problem lies with the small piece of plastic that hangs vertically down from the car just ahead of the front tires. When I tighten down the webbing it bends this small piece of plastic forward and obviously stresses it. Finally one broke and just paid $190 to replace it.
Does anyone know what purpose it serves? I would imagine it is there for a reason. Can it be trimmed or simply removed?
If anyone knows please help. My mechanic did not have a clue.

Funny I've never had that problem. I guess it's because the way the straps hook to my trailer below the ramps. The straps don't even come close the car.

Thanks everyone.
I failed to mention the specifics. I have a 2004 Trailex and I use wheel straps. I have tried both straight and cross/x the straps.
It seems to work best just straight which is how I go.
Perhaps longer wheel straps might help.
Anything else to help?
