Little mud flap things or Recycled Solo cups ? Poor Quality Plastic

[LSTech]

Either GM didn't ever test drive these trucks in freezing weather or they don't really care about the quality of materials that go into the parts.

 

10 K km , 1 winter and very little gravel roads and the little flaps forward of the rear wheels are broken to pieces..... and I have large mud flaps and running boards ?

 

I think paper Mache would be as strong!

 

Notice the plastic end caps on the running boards are fine .

 

 

GM will you Warranty these ?

Most likely made in china is stamped on them somewhere! What are these trucks down to now like 40-50% American made content?

Guess is that they didn't spec the correct type of material to be used for the *gravel guard*. Agree with you that might be recyled red solo cups. Myself, I would want to get something on that would work to try and keep the paint from getting torn up. Knowing that those are not going to cut the mustard will now have to be aftermarket.

There is a aftermarket is the best for mud flaps

Looks like a dog got under there and CHEWED them apart.

 

I would ask the dealer about it & show them what you have already added to protect your truck even further. If they give you a "free" set, try spraying some of that expanding foam inside them to make them more solid/crack resistant??

Those are not mudflaps/gravelgards but they are there to help with the vehicle aerodynamics. Who cares if they are made in China, totally irrelevant.
