I like the quality of the flaps I just received mine but I personally think the mounting hardware is poorly selected and could be improved other than that the video was very useful, the quality of the flaps are great and the shipping packaging was done securely to.
Somebody get this guy some tools! I understand not everyone has a well stocked tool box but a straight drill bit and a stubby screwdriver would be nice!
question- will the included screws rust/errode in winter climates? and if so what kind of material would be a good alternative? curious because i just installed mine and i didnt even think of it until after the fact!
We provide stainless screws with corrosion resistant clips and such, so they should be pretty rust resistant. However, even stainless can rust given the right environment. It really depends on the chemicals used on the roads for the winter and things like that as to the answer to your question. Here in Utah, we have hardware last years without rusting.
That front middle screw is too long for my 2024 Gr Corolla, 2 washers is not enough now I can’t removed the screw because it widens the hole already. I just put some super glue and hope this screw won’t pop out while running and puncture my rear tire.
It is for sure possible to install the fronts without removing wheels. You would just turn them opposite of the side you are working on. The rear can be done without removing wheels, but you need some slim tools and it is really tight. If you can lift the back end up with a jack, the suspension droop will often add a bit more room.
I managed to do it with the wheels on, and without a lift. Front was easy with the wheels turned. The rear was much more of a challenge. The small pin with the Phillips drive was fairly difficult to get out. I turned it and turned it and turned it, and then, when I got a small screwdriver under the edge of the body of the pin and lifted it up, the pin began to thread out and I was able to get it out. The threaded connector up underneath came out much easier if I put one hand above the panel and applied down force while unscrewing it. It was helpful to have a small ratcheting driver like the one used in the video. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be room between the screws and the wheel to get things done.
Just installed mine and the first long screw on the front flap does not tighten all the way down even with both washers. Seems it is about 1/4 inch too long
Looks great! Just ordered my set and I’m looking forward to the install. Thank you for the detailed walkthrough
Small ask, you really should provide black colored screws. Even OEM mud guards provide black colored screws.

Thanks for this tutorial!…I’ll be installing my splash guards soon.

We try to make our installs simple and require minimal tools, knowing that not everyone has a well stocked tool box. Thanks for watching.

I also had this problem.

Is it bottoming out on something then? What is it hitting or preventing it from being fully tight?
I'm having the same issue. It's too long and just spins now
I had the same problem with mine, too. Did you ever find a workable screw length?
I encountered the same issue as you did.

Drilling the liner makes me uncomfortable...
