Just  recieved my new SA mud flaps for GoWesty and I am not too
impressed. They  are a thinnish plastic material - not very durable
appearing though the fit  looks good and they are plenty wide to keep the
black road/tire film from  coating the sides of the van.


What are others experience wth these  flaps? Are they more durable than
they seem?
Are the GoWesty (and other  American vendors) SA mud flaps the same as
these  http://www.southafrica-parts.de/na/?
Are there better after-market mud  flaps than these?






Sam, I have these same mudflaps on my '87  Westy.  They have been there for
about 8 years and have never fallen off or  given any problems other than the
right hand front one cracked, probably from  winter driving or impact.  It was
easily repaired with a plastic  patch.  I bought my set from the Bus Depot but
now sell them myself, see my  _Vanagon Items Forsale_
(http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/sales.htm)   webpage.  I think they are better than the OEM ones that
Volkswagen of  North America offered, just my opinion.  I do not believe there
are any  better ones on the market at this time.
