Least that was my experience with their longboard 35mm fenders.
your installation mechanical skills must really suck ! My SKS i fitted in the mid 70's are still fine 40 years On.
I Now have several Bikes with SKS,
& 1 with Planet bike Injection Molded Polycarbonate I bought for My Bike Friday.
20" using the Bike friday mounting scheme the front one doas not even need a strut , I made a custom strut for the rear one.
