Has anyone else experienced that the fibrous inner wheelwell covering (rear
wheel) deforms with time? It seems it has absorbed water over time and now
bulges towards the front of the tire.

I have had a 1999 Focus 1.8 LX from new which has now covered 42K. The
coverings are in the same condition that I bought it. I use a pressure
washer to clean the car and all wheel arches get a blast at the same time.

Hope this helps.

Yep. Mine did that as well. There's now a hole in it where it rubs the
tire when there's a load in the back. Obviously, it especially bad when
you put on new tires.
