The 09 side skirts don't prevent rock chips on the rear doors. I have an 09 with 1500 kms on it and it has the dreaded rock chips on the rear drivers side door. what a p*** off, it is an easy fix but I don't want to paint my new buggy yet. HTH Chris

 

Man im pissed, i need to pay 700 $$$$ to fix this, and YES i have the Factory Mud Flaps. I asked the dealer if other people complained about this problem, but he said no.

Wow. That's really terrible.

 

Yep and just cost me 250 $ to fix the rust on my door, because FACTORY DEFFECT that is not cover by waranty. My door driver door was a little bit inside, so all the rock make the back door RUST !

 

Bigger side air dam. Front mud guards on the way from Japan. I'm not taking the risk.

 

Thanks! You're the first to answer this question directly across 3 forums! Do you know if the oem mud guards will alleviate the rock chips with the 09 side skirts?

 

I am not sure about the mud flaps but I will be putting a set on this week. I will keep you posted on if they cut down rock chips.
