How to Install Car Mudguards?
2 Answers
Car mudguards installation method is: 1. Prepare mudguards corresponding to the car model, pliers, screwdriver, matching screws and nuts in advance; 2. Clean the installation position with a damp cloth for easy removal; 3. Locate the reserved screws and nuts on the vehicle, remove them directly with tools, and take off the original mudguards; 4. Adjust the position of the new mudguards, use tools to screw the screws into the screw holes in sequence, and install them; 5. The remaining three can be installed following the above steps. Mudguards are plate structures installed behind the wheel outer frame, usually made of high-quality rubber material, and some are made of engineering plastic.
As an enthusiast who frequently modifies cars myself, I find installing mud flaps actually quite simple. You'll need a Phillips screwdriver, a 10mm wrench, and new mud flap accessories. First, park the car securely and engage the handbrake. Locate the original screw holes in the wheel arch behind the tire - typically there are 3-4 holes for front wheels. Remove the original screws, align the mud flap's openings, then secure with new screws. Note that the mud flap edge should maintain about 1cm clearance from the tire to avoid rubbing. Last time I installed them, I forgot to clean the mud chunks inside the wheel arch, which later affected the fit - I recommend wiping the installation area with a damp cloth first. After installation, you can spray some rust inhibitor to prolong lifespan. The whole process takes less than half an hour, and DIY can save you dozens in labor costs.
