Subject: Just Kampers mud flaps arrived
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
The mud flaps I ordered from Jusk Kampers about a month ago arrived today
via the USPO. Total cost for a set of 4 flaps was £69 which comes out to a
little less than $120. The parts are genuine VW and were shipped what
appears to be original VW packaging (in bags with part numbers). The flaps
themselves are black and made from a hard but resilent plastic--not the same
hard rubber material as is used for the Westy propane mud flap. They are
really more like body trim than traditional truck style flaps. All mounting
hardware is included and you don't have to drill any holes in the body sheet
metal, I like that. The flaps are held to the vehicle with heavy duty clips
that secure the part of the flap that extends along the wheelwell. There is
also a metal bracket to secure the other side of the flap. All in all, they
look like they will do the job though I wonder how the plastic will hold up
to those 50mph gravel road drives in SE Oregon.
There is one problem though. My van already has black plastic fender
extensions on the trailing edge of the wheelwells that interferes with
mounting the mud flaps. Anyone know how to remove these trim pieces?
