Thanks so much for sharing Robert. These fenders are heavy duty resin so we rarely learn of them arriving damaged. That said, we would have encouraged you to reach out to us so we could make it right rather than being disappointed in the product. The fenders are not easily assembled which is why we strongly encourage having them professionally installed, something that ensures they will function as intended. We are also confused about your comments about other products as you've previously left very favorable reviews for previous purchases. Thanks again for the feedback Robert. -Ryan Zagata
