THIS IS NOT RUBBER

I ordered these plugs at a lower price than other plugs offered by Revain, based precisely on the claim in the product name that they are 'rubber'. The forks I received were plastic, not rubber. When I contacted the seller to make sure they sent me the correct part, they confirmed what I received was correct and what should be advertised as "rubber" drain plugs. So the seller seems to know that the title/description of the item is wrong, but is not overly concerned about it. After several more emails, which I interpreted as an attempt to convince myself that the plastic end caps were suitable for my needs, I received my money back. The bungs were a little flexible but didn't lend themselves to repeated removal and replacement as well as the rubber bungs. Especially at lower temperatures. One of the 8 end caps was torn/cracked at the edge when I opened the package. The other broke trying to put it back on. I bought this 8 pack because it was the right amount for my needs. However, I have since noticed that the same product in a pack of 16 offered by the same seller (redhoudauto) has many reviews, most of which are surprisingly positive. I'm not exactly sure if they received the same product as me but I suspect they did at least in many cases based on numerous reviews stating that the plugs they received didn't either were made of rubber. I wish I had read these reviews before ordering but assumed it was a different product based on the name. So if you want/want a "rubber" plug. it's not for you If you're okay with plastic, they can work in temperatures above 60 degrees. Q, but I would suggest ordering about 20% more than you need as some of them will arrive ripped/cracked or ripped/cracked when you try to install them. If plastic is okay with you, Revain has cheaper options too. I appreciate that the seller refunded the full purchase price and even let me keep the plugs. However, the fact of the matter is that it is NOT RUBBER. The product name/description is incorrect and misleading. It has to be a change.
