Came across this doing some upgrades to a buddies Thing... Yikes! Take heed folks.

Very much so, yes. Be especially careful of the Euromax couplers. I had one on the bus for a few weeks until it too began to buckle under torque. You can tell the Euromax's by their square shape with a quarter ($0.25) radius. The correct VW zones are more like a dime ($0.10) radius.

Interesting. I heard the red ones were shit too. Had one in my green lowered thing with No issues, even after a few years of use, but I may have been lucky.

No first hand experience here, but I too heard the red urethane couplers are known to fail.

Believe it, urathane is not good.

Great... I'm pretty sure that's what I put in the buggy over this past summer.

Thanks for the heads up.
