2011 Ford Explorer!

Maybe that's a case that the front flaps were indeed changed/modified? Just thinking out loud...

 

[JDraper]

Dunno...don't care...they fit fine for me.

I've heard from others that the back ones fit fine but the front ones leave a gap when they are screwed down. It's partially fixable if you place a third screw lower down to pull the flap back to the wheel well.

 

[JDraper]

The front flaps that I have use a total of 5 fasteners to hold them in place. 3 along the face of the flap (Facing the wheel) and 2 on the bottom edge (Facing the road). The date on my instructions appears to be 12-8-2010, so maybe this is an updated version.

Post pics when their installed! Or has anyone seen any existing pics with the flaps?

 

[JDraper]

I might try to get them on tomorrow night. IF the hardware shows up tomorrow....

 

[JDraper]

Installed the mud flaps this afternoon. Fairly easy install and the fit is pretty good. Front actually fit better than the rear. Biggest gap is at the back and is about 1/16" at worst. I think that once they warm up, it will close down that gap.

Looks great!

Something you could try is a hair blowdryer on the flaps to see if you can soften the plastic and form them a little tighter? Otherwise, they seem to fit and as long as they do their job, that's good enough

I was going to get my heat gun out and give it a try, but I'm feeling too lazy to do that today

Oh, I'm sure the splash guards are the same. Bascially, the price difference is about an additional $95 ($185-90 [parts]= $95 [labor]). The guards ship with the truck in a box. The dealer puts them on when on site at the dealership. So, they get paid 95 bucks for about 20-30 minutes of actual work. Typical shop rate overcharge.

I think I will wia to see what comes of it.

Our old '01 Volvo S60 had one touch down and UP for the front seats. I really miss the one touch up...That was a awesome feature!!!

I just joined the forum and am going through the postings for the first time. Your '01 Volvo S60 isn't old; I don't even consider our '95 Volvo 850 Turbo to be old; it only has about 72,000 miles on it.

Moving to Arizona and living on unpaved roads made us realize the 850T was not the optimal vehicle for the only vehicle in the family. Bought the 2001 Explorer, one year old, a week after moving here. One of the best things we did!

Gotta say it. Joe Dirt and JDraper ROCK!!
