Towed today with my Sorento XE Auto and covered the front of the caravan with mud. It seems that the factory fitted rear mudflaps are just too small. Does anyone know of extra long mudflaps made for the Sorento or has anyone suffered the same problem and made their own or converted other existing mudflaps. Photos would be helpful to me if anyone has them.

Thanks

Look on the UK Sorento forum, there is an article on using Frontera mudflaps.

 Ours does the same so I wash it off! I have thought about getting some thick rubber and making some extensions.

A word of caution.

I made some extension mudflaps for the Disco, using Defender type flaps screwed to the fixings for the factory fitted ones

Worked an absolute treat until I reversed in deep mud on severly rising ground. Just as with my old Ser2 Land Rover the mudflap gets pressed against the turning wheel.

On my old Landy it ripped the mudflap, on the new Disco it ripped out the entire plastic wheel arch and depositted it on the field beside.

SWMBO was speechless. That never happened before!

Ensure your mudflap can't touch the wheel!
