Default Rally Armor Mud Flap Question

I know there is a billion mud flap threads but....

I posted this comment in the "best mud flap for winter" thread thats in here.

I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else or am i just a dummy?

I was backing into my moms driveway the other night. She lives in a town house with a one car garage. Its not super tight, but its no parking lot either. My left rear tire catches the edge of a curb leading into her driveway and presses the mud flap against my tire and the curb. POP!!!! ripped the whole flap and bracket clean off still intact together! ****ing installed them 2 weeks ago. The metal screws ripped right through mounting points on the bumper and wheel well.....

Now that i had to chance to look at it in the day light, only the bottom screw ripped through the plastic mounting point of wheel well. The top mounting point, the mud flap pulled out over the plastic washer. The bottom underneath mounting point, the push clip just popped out without breaking.

I put it back on but now its definitely not has strong as it was before, so that one flap is basically just ****ed.

So moral of the story, dont back into a hard stationary surfaces with madflaps on!
