Noticed my Raw flap was looking a little wrinkled today. Closer inspection reveled the decal (for those that don't know, they are plain black plastic completely covered with a decal to give the flap your chosen design/colourscheme) peeling up from the bottom and a strip a couple inches up where water had gotten under the decal causing delamination right across the flap.
I figured the only way to save it was going to be to pull the decal off and have a plain black flap. On doing so I can see why the above has happened, the adhesive is shit. I know it's cold out today but still...
I reckon the flap is now a good deal flimsier too.
I was happy to pay the premium for the Raw flaps as they looked good, pity they don't last.
TLDR: Don't buy Raw flaps, make your own.
