Had the same idea Baden, For better deflection the material I am going to use will be a smooth type, similar to the tarpaulin on the rooftop tent.
On my old vehicle (Jeep) I had magnetic sheeting which I cut out to fit the rear door & side panels protection from scratches. On the D3 however, the rear window is so large & upright that even that may get damaged. So yes, I agree, mud flaps may help but the final solution would be the cover over the trailer. Advise when you have pics.Ren Colyn

Ren I just saw this. Youare a very patient guy !
Herewith the pics of the "nose - protector" I had made. I attached it with eye-bolts and clips, so it is easily sremovable (though not sure why I would remove it) cost me R400 from a local mate dickson, who custom-makes covers for all type of stuff

Seems we had similar ideas. I have used mine in earnest & so far no backlash of stones onto the rear of the vehicle.
