Heat coming from engine bay

[Mrelcocko]

Hey guys figured someone in here would be able to answer my question I’ve been driving my Qx4 lately And today I used the AC and drove a little bit around town went to the park came back home I was walking by and put my hand on the passenger side fender and it was almost too hot to touch the driver side was the same way so my question is how much heat is too much is it normal for the fenders to be extra hot while running the AC?

Running the aircon does make more heat, but I don't know how much of that heat would get around the inner fenders. The panels on mine get hot this time of year because the sun is out (usually, right now we're smoked in) and the paint is black.
