Lots of good answers and some interesting theories and solutions.
Looking at the picture again, the damage seems have happened on the outside of the flap, going against the tyre wear theory. I would suggest third party damage (has a chemical spilt on it or some other external form of heat source?).
Any ideas...

Nope, it's the tyre. The flap has been caught up between the frame and tyre, therefore causing the wear on the outside of the flap, it's happened to me on softer rubber flapsmick1 wrote:Lots of good answers and some interesting theories and solutions.

although all the other previous answers are possible too 
The answer is to find a mudflap made of firmer rubber to stop this happening in the future.Turn On, Tune In, Cop out!
was it made by scwable ?
win or lose have a booze
Never heard of that happening beforeMuttley McLadd wrote:There's your answer. Is it the stainless steel one?Jxmiddle wrote:I think the flap is too short to catch on the rear wheel and I already fitted a replacement antimatter stabiliser - and before you ask it was the expensive MB one!
Wrong polish..
That's obvious to everyone, surely??

Rubber... flaps... mounting... nuts... sucked off... hole... flaccid... flange... make your own sentence and I'm sure the reason is in there somewhere!
