12 Washers......................................................................................................... (Item FenWash)
8 Short Stainless Steel Screws........................................................................... (Item

Recommended tools:
Phillips screwdriver (offset or short) - Flat head screwdriver - 8mm wrench
Cautionary Note: The hardware is quite strong and self-threading but over tightening the clips is not
recommended. Rally Armor recommends professional installation.
Front Flap Installation:
Step 1: Turn steering wheel towards the side of the vehicle you are working on in order to allow access to
the wheel well area.
Step 2: Using a Phillips screwdriver:
A) Remove the following clips from the front wheel well liner (see fig. A).
Cautionary Note: Be careful not to rip the wheel well plastic. It tears easily. Pull back slowly!
B) Remove by prying entire clip assembly out from the outer portion as seen in fig. B.
A) B) C)
Step 3: Place 3 plastic clips (Item PolCl) over the factory mounting holes as in fig. C:
Step 4: Replace liner and original clips #1 and #4.
Step 5: Place a washer (Item FenWash) on innermost mount of the logo less side of the flap then hand
thread a short screw (Item 1SS) into the clip to start and continue tightening just enough to hold mud flap
in place. Do the same for the other 2 mounting points then adjust flap based on curvature of the area.
TIP: Do not fully tighten screws. Align the flap so that it is perpendicular to the ground by tugging slightly
with pressure on top (or bottom) of the flap in (fig. D). Walk away from the vehicle to adjust as needed.
D) E)
Step 6: Fully tighten all screws (Item 1SS) as in figure E.
Rear Mud Flap Installation:
Removal of the rear tires may aid in installation. Alternatively, jacking up
the rear of the vehicle allows access to the inner wheel well area thus avoiding removal of rear tires.
