Consumer Description

DRIVING AT AROUND 20 MILES AN HOUR OVER FLOWING WATER ON A CITY STREET, THE SPLASH FROM THE WATER RIPPED OFF THE RIGHT BLACK PLASTIC ARCH COVER OF THE RIGHT WHEEL. FORTUNATELY, THE PLASTIC ARCH COVER REMAINED ATTACHED, BUT MOST OF THE PLASTIC TABS WERE DETACHED. THE WORRY IS THAT IF THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN MORE, THE PLASTIC PIECE COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN ENTIRELY RIPPED FROM THE VEHICLE AND FLOWN INTO THE AIR CAUSING DAMAGE.
