Isn't it the Polypropylene ones that flake apart? And the Polycarbonate ones that stay looking good and sturdy?

Did the manufacturers not make an effort to cover them with a rust-proof paint? Rather than a standard paint?

Polyprop was poor but yes polycarb is good. Back then it was self cert/true its a bit different now

 

If I vacuum formed my own cover for a CQR Multibox, I would worry that it would end up bulging and flaking away 

 

@al-yeti @james.wilson

 

Red one at the top is Polycarb I think bit the bottom one lost all of its colour and is bulging out at the sides polypropylene, lots more polypropylene around me, all flaking apart

The  odyssey was polycarbonate, some age better than others (the sun / variable quality  of the plastics?)

CQR C-Type, the little tag on the bottom edge says "polycarbonate"

Yeah, I am guessing that they were injection moulded. I wonder if CQR still have the tooling for them? Probs cost a lot to make/have made, with them being so big. Maybe that Odyssey was. on a South-Facing wall, so therefore it would have had a lot more sun than one on a North-Facing Wall
