Front Mud Flap Installation
Begin by parking the vehicle on an even surface. Turn the steering wheel to allow access to the inner wheel well area.
• (Figure A) Remove the 4 OEM fender liner fasteners (as shown). Pull liner away to gain access to the interior fender area.
• (Figure B) Place 2 polygon clips (PolCl ) over 2 upper mounting points. Re-install liner, do not re-install two lower side skirt clips.
• (Figure C) (Refer to expanded diagram on last page and “Important Notes” below)
Place the mud flap with the logo facing the rear of the vehicle against the corresponding mounting points on the fender liner and
bracket. Place a washer (SmWash) over a long screw (1.5SS) through the flap into each of the two upper mounted clips.
Place a polygon clip over the single mounting point on front bracket. Lay bracket against corresponding lower mounting points BEHIND
the mud flap and the fender liner. Loosely thread a washer (SmWash) over a short screw (1SS) through the inner mounting point of the
flap into clip mounted on the bracket.
Align outer edge of the flap by incrementally adjusting the angle of the flap and walking away from the vehicle until the flap is
perpendicular to even ground. Tighten all mounting screws and bracket bolt only until snug. Do not over tighten. Lock inserts by
pushing inner portion into the base of the vehicle with additional force.
(Figure C -continued) Loosely place the two Inserts (Ins5) through
the lower mud flap, liner, bracket and vehicle mounting points. Do
not secure this portion prior to aligning mud flap. This will retain
the bracket on the vehicle while the other sections are secured and
mud flap is aligned.
The front plastic inside cover on production models (secured by a
nut behind the liner) may prevent one of the push inserts we
provide from fully seating. To facilitate/ease installation, you can
easily snip-away a small portion of the insert provided as shown:
