Weathertech Mudflaps Warping?

[royalkangaroo]

Has anyone had issues with their weathertech mudflaps warping?  The rear ones on my Sierra seem to be curling in toward the tire, not sure why.  They’re about 4 years old now, but they used to sit flat and square.  I’ve taken them off, cleaned everything and reinstalled, thinking they might have come off a bit, but no improvement.

Mine are going on 5 years and haven't seen that issue. I wonder if maybe it has to do with the different climate I am in compared to you, NC compared to VT.

I just put mine on a week ago and I hope they don't warp.

Four years on mine in upper Illinois and perfect.

maybe post a picture..

 

could the cold weather and how/where they're fastened be putting them in a bind..?

Mine have been on for over 2 years and no signs of warping...It seems odd they would warp considering how thick/stiff they are.

Sorry, I’ve been meaning to snap a picture. Maybe it’s my imagination but I thought they sat straighter? Does it look like they’re curling toward the tire?

This is the rear.

Is the crease along the bottom pulling away from the fender where they meet?

 

Have you backed over something and it bent them? 

 

It DOES look like it is bending in a little to me but it's hard to tell.

They seem to be flush against the fender well, no gap at the crease.  The bend seems to start the at free hanging part below the mounting points.

It’s odd, both are doing it, the driver’s side more than the passenger.  I don’t believe I backed over anything, they’re pretty rugged, seems like it’d take a lot to bend one.

If your picture was sent to Weathertech, what did they say? The picture on this forum does a good job of showing what you are talking about.

I haven’t heard a response from them yet.

Update:  WeatherTech offered me 50% off a replacement rear set.

 

Since they're about 4 years old, I do not have an original receipt, and they're $40 MRSP new, I felt that was a reasonable offer.

Frozen ice hanging off them all the time will probably bend a memory into the plastic. Warm it up with a heat gun and push it back to its original position.
