Question on accessory mud guards

BLACKVALK · 07-19-2006, 06:15 PM

This might be the wrong area to post this question, but I was not sure where to post it. I have ordered the Nissan accessory mud guards, and was wondering how they attach to the body. Do they use the existing holes that already have the screws or do I need to drill new holes?

for 2004 they use heavy duty double sided tape. for newer models i think they drilled holes

Mine used screws from the factory. The back one is actually not in the wheel well, it's down low on the rocker panel so I can't picture it with a pre-drilled empty hole there if you didn't have the flaps.

Thanks guys. I called the dealer and he tells me there is no drilling required. I pick them up on Friday, so I'll see then. BTW I have the hole in the rocker that you are refering to. It has a black plug in it.

Honestly, the mud flaps for the 04's suck. They don't hold up well and they actually went backwards and the tire ate mine up when snow got built up and I went backwards. I would mount them using screws and double sided tape or some adhesives from home depot.

Just put some on last week that I got from another member. Each one uses 2 existing screws and a clip or plug whatever you call it that is already there as well. I used a little double sided tape and some RGV black silicone to secure mine a little better because all of the screws are on the outside edge of the flap and I felt the inside edge needed a little support. For the back ones you will need a "Z" screwdriver or similar to get to the screws with the tire on.

Thanks for the tips. It's nice to have the experience of others, so I done screw them up.
