Mine don't fit the back at all. The front ones are great, but they are very short so do not get all of the crud.

Supposedly I "Have bought the wrong ones" because the Volvo XC60 has changed from 2014 to 2015. Can anyone confirm whether this is in fact the case?

There is a difference between the two models, I have fitted both and they both work fine, they are mud flaps not a magic wand so you will always get spray


Have a look at the thread I started about them, easily found using the search function http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=220729

My Chinese Ovlovs didn't really fit on the rear until I warmed them in hot water to make them a bit more malleable and could get them to fit the contour of the car better.

Not sure if this will help you as you say they don't fit the back at all but it may be worth a try as mine were quite far off initially and felt like to get it to fit either the flap or the body work was going to break first.

Oh and I've got a 2015 car.

Paul.

Thanks - I had seen your thread - I'm post #29 back in April. I've had mudflaps before over the last 40 years of car owning, and they have kept more off than these. Ah well.

I had thought from previous posts that MY2015 and MY2016 owners had bought these specific mudflaps, and am therefore surprised to learn that there was a change in design of rear wheel arch since 2014. Drat. I've now read Bloke's response, and it will be the warm water or the wallpaper stripper heat gun. Leaving them out in the sun three weeks ago (I think that was summer) didn't make them malleable enough.
