It's not that they're not as beefy, they're just different. The
Volkswagen/America ones are flexible rubber, whereas the Volkswagen/South
Africa ones (which I sell) look similar but are actually made of hard
plastic.  The U.S. ones do _look_ like they would be more beefy, but they
tend to rip, whereas my South African ones don't, so if anything I'd say
they're less reliable in real-world use. Also worth noting is that there is
a large price difference; mine are about 1/3 the price.
