Dear gentleman,
I do not know the technical term, for this reason I try to describe it.
I am looking for a kit or spare parts to "better" seal the rear wheel wells.
I have K5 M1009 6.2 l diesel and on mine the rear wheel wells are relatively open to the front and to the rear.
To test the 4 WD drive once, I drove 500 m dirt road and had now already earth and stones on the the inside of the side skirts in front of the rear wheel arches.
Are there kits here, additional material that you can buy "in the trade" and seals the wheel wells better?
Then my second question, why was this not already provided by Chevrolet itself on the M1009, is there a reason for this?
In general, it must have been common practice already in the 70s / 80s to provide better protection in the underbody area, especially for vehicles intended for off-road use?
Or am I overlooking an important point here with regard to off-road capability?
Best regards
