Any ideas on how to clean the goop off, and restabilize the rubber, or are these ruined and only good to use with a full fender cover? Think TaylorMade will guarantee/replace? Thx, Kile

They're sticky because

Somebody used acetone or other solvent to clean em that broke down the rubber. They're toast...a cover will only get stuck to 'em. No, Taylor will not replace 'em.

Outboard Fuel

I used two stroke outboard fuel (50:1 mix) to clean fenders after a month in the Dutch Canals. It worked very well and did not leave the plastic sticky. Good luck.
