Hello, can anybody help out there please: we have a Pennine Fiesta folding camper (circa 1996) and have a problem with the left hand (with towbar facing forward) plastic wheel cover. It appears to have been rubbing on the inside of the wheel, probably due to several item or items in the storage box, having pressed it in too far over time. There is now a lateral hole in it about 8-10" long and the water has got in, surprise, surprise and we have had to remove the carpets (Probably a mixed blessing as they are the originals and are dirty & smelly....)

The pvc does not appear to be particularly tough or rigid and is quite flimsy and flexible, I'm not sure if these are the original wheel arches, if so the fixing appears to be with staples and adhesive. I would have expected something more solid especially as the storage boxes are going to be used on trips of course. Is there a way to effect a repair, or replace them easily or is a new cover required? Any ideas please?

Any experience with these would be gratefully received. Thank you.

Cheers
