has anyone else experienced this?

Did you use them in extreme cold?
I put hockey pucks on my truck and on year 3 they hold just fine.

nope, I live northwest of Houston. Not much extreme cold here, sadly:)

Shoot these pics over to TL and see what they say. I bet they mail you out some new ones.

Bad batch of rubber.
That's the problem with rubber and plastic, that you can't test its quality.
Driving Mercedes for long time, I had older models where 30 years old rubber pieces were holding well.
Than in 2000's with global economy - Mercedes subcontract parts manufacturing to former East Block, or even India.
So on newer cars rubber grommet and plastic holders were disintegrating after 3 years.
I come to the point when having 5 yo car, I was going to junk yard to salvage 20 years old grommets and put them in 5 yo car.

X2...looks like a bad batch of rubber or too much heat was used in manufacture....mine are 2 years old and look same as when installed.

^^^^ We had a rear Torklift frame mount tie-down bend upward on our return trip from Monument Valley a few months ago ('16 Ram 3500). Torklift promptly sent us a warranty replacement. They requested the defective unit be sent back so their R&D department could look at it. Said they'd never had that particular mount bend/fail before. Gotta say they've got a pretty lengthy list of questions they ask to verify exactly what happened. They asked how we tensioned the Fastguns, whether we off-road (we don't), what kind of bed mat we used (Dee Zee), who installed the tie-downs (dealer), etc.

Mine are still fine after 11 years, so I would punt that to TL.
