DAE get little rocks stuck between rotor and brake shield?

I’ve noticed driving backwards a few feet sometimes dislodges it.

I had this happen on mine too. It lasted 1/2 my drive home after I noticed it. (About 4 miles) Finally it popped out going about 50 on a back road.

This has happened to me 4 times in the past month. Last time I considered lighting the car on fire but not sure if that would’ve helped.

Last time I couldn't get the rock out no matter what I did. Jacked it up, checked both rear heat shields, and noticed my rear right was closer to the rotor by a half inch or so. I bent it back, a rock flew out, and haven't had an issue in 4+ months. I used to get rocks lodged every couple weeks because they did shitty chipseal all around me

Anyone have experience with paragon rotors? Will I have the same issue?

It's the heat shield catching the rocks so a different rotor probably won't help at all. Remove the heat shield or just deal with it as it comes up.
