Hmm interesting...from my experiences with brecoflex(reinforced only) it is quite strechty because of the pvc like material and steel reinforcement that its made of...I wonder if the belts were too tight or if the grating ripped them...very interesting, I'd def like to hear more about this problem they had.

I guess i should say that under normal carpet driving conditions they are extremely durable. Good catch.
