Why should VW give us a passengers side mudflap for free, especially if it's not required by a safety's standpoint (to protect the propane tank) and especially if they can get $* for it, because they know most people think it's silly to just have one mudflap on the vehicle, and would want a matching set. *(call your dealer and make sure you're sitting down......) I know someone at VW thought long and hard to come up with this acccessory marketing ploy...... :<) chris
