Yeah, I've just had cheaper/ crappier fenders get pushed back, and then the rubbery bits got pulled into the wheel.
It needs to be shaped like a scoop, and not a flap. A slightly more rigid material (i.e. thin plastic sheet) would be better than something softer.
Most fender extenders you can buy are rubber, but they aren't nearly as long as the one I made, and thus, not nearly as effective.
