Description of the problem	The wheel well liner and the plastic bumper attachment are attached to each other or near each other. In my opinion this type of material and design is faulty. This design does not support heavy snow. Last march when the rochester, ny. Received heavy snow, the weight of the snow caused the wheel liner and the bumper to tear.
