Well that is wonderful and really nice that you had a great trip! - and a safe one also. Yes those boots will come apart and it is difficult to tell why at times. I have heard that some of the replacement boots are rather poor quality. I don't know how long duct tape will hold the grease in, typically tape and grease don't work together two well. What caused the tire well to get messed up. That is pretty high off the ground to hit something. Is it just scraped or is it dented in.
