OEM Mudflaps. Happy with them?

[DaveInSA]

Ya, think it's too late now for me since my BL is already scheduled for production.

The last thing I want to do is change something and be put to the back of the line.

They aren't hard to install. You do have to drill a couple holes, but it's really just through plastic and not a big deal. I installed them on mine.

This tire is turned the wrong way for installation because I'd just finished installing the passenger side and hadn't straightened the wheels out before the picture. When doing the drivers, turn the wheels to the left to give you more room, then to the right for the passenger.

The rears, I just got friendly with my back tires.

You can see some of the 45 gallons of tire shine that the dealership put on had already sprayed off the tire on to the vehicle in the 2nd pic

Pro tip: These and these are $50 for the fronts and $50 for the rears to buy and install yourself. They used to be a $200 option on the Bronco Sport, for the front and back, but they are now a $220 option. Way cheaper to buy and install yourself and not that difficult.

It was a straight forward install and they fit perfectly. For around $100, I am happy so far.

The stock cheap ones from Ford seemed to be the way to go. Not hard to install but the backs can be a pita with the tires installed but doable. Well worth it IMO although they are a bit long for driving off road.

Removed after they got caught off road and broke one

Mine were listed on the window sticker off the lot. Happy with them. The little flappy things in front of the front tires, not holding up well at all.

 

[Osco]

These work just fine.

Agreed. I think they will need to come off when off-roading. If not, they may be taken off by Mother Nature and she may not be as gentle as you would.

Currently installing them. Discovered I'll need a drive socket set to properly put them in, so I'll sort that out tonight hopefully.

Good tips on turning the tires. I'll do that for the front. Though a bit of a pain that you have to drill, even if only through plastic.

The drilling part is painless. The placement of the speed nuts in the rear is a pita. I guess that goes without saying!

 

[AGLzaca]

And done.
Not having all the easy tools to work with added to the pain, but I'm happy with how they came out.

If not, good third party suggestions you’ve found? Thanks!

Perfectly Happy with them, not a 4 wheelin guy so I’m not inclined to go off road with her, maybe an occasional fire road that’s all. Waiting for it to warm up a bit to do the fronts.

Both of my front factory ones have fallen off. Not sure why, no signs of striking anything either....

Are the holes ripped? Can you snap a picture where it was mounted?
