Mud Flaps - Retrofit: Procedure

  1. Turn the steering wheel fully to the left to provide access to the working area.
  2. Carefully use a push clip removal tool or flathead screwdriver to remove the lower push clips (x2) that secure the front wheel arch liner. Discard the push clips.
    CAUTION: Discard the existing push clips. Do not use the existing push clips to install the mud flap.

  3. Clean the installation area with alcohol and allow to fully dry before installation.
  4. Maneuver the mud flap in place so that the tabs on the mud flap hook onto the backside of the front fender garnish. Make sure that the mud flap is aligned correctly with the holes in the front wheel arch liner and body of the vehicle.
