    G'day Gregbark,

    the only thing I could say is if the harder material was on the underside ( closest to the motor ) and the soft stuff was on the other side it would look a lot more like the original.

    It does stop a lot of heat coming from the engine bay though.

    Cheers

    We have discussed this with the factory but the material used now forms and holds better the way it is. I agree with the look but we have to consider the use and production. Considering we couldn't get a similar material for many years ,until recently, this is what works best. The older material often deteriorated and crumbed quite easily with age.

    Easy to see why some companies fail really.

    I always pulled the ugly things off if one was fitted anyway. They deteriorated, got dirty and stayed that way and served no real purpose. They only seemed to be on Statesmans and some Premiers..... I never owned a van or ute with one.
    Vans.... This is the 2nd time round the block, 40 years later! talk about turning back the clock!
