My experience is that they give up one side at a time so as soon as you notice the first faulty one that is the ideal time to change them.

Fun fact about Velcro type products: Velcro grips harder when the materials are vibrated. This is different than many other fasteners. At least one US car manufacturer was using very special velcro type fasteners to attach bumper components as they found it better, cheaper, and more secure than more traditional fasteners.
