Jays will also attack seals and wiper blades. My best photo os the range-restricted Tufted Jay in Mexico is at my windshield wipers early one morning.

Vultures have an appetite for rubber. It is a major problem in the Everglades, but mostly with the Black Vultures. Many people cover there cars down there. I suppose Turkey Vultures may have picked up the taste.
