Model S Refresh Mud/Splash Guards

[Proppilot]

These are the ones I have ordered. Should be here in a couple of days. I pick the car up on Sunday. Presume I'm still going to have the issue of no real way to mount them on the rear?

Please send a report once installed. I have been watching those but the price is significant and a huge delivery time window from China so I want to make sure they would be perfect. I am quite happy with the Pro-Fit #1s but you have to have the stones to drill holes into the plastic parts on your car

So I received my $70 mudflaps from eBay, took about 2 weeks to get them. They seem well made. The outer plastic has a carbon fiber like effect. There's a number of fittings but no instructions on what to do with them. Guess I'm going to be seeing if I can attach them in the SC car park to get some protection before PPF the next day. If anyone has any hints I'll take 'em

(Only took photos of the two, obviously there's actually 4)

Nice solution, but I would not want to drill a hole on my LR for rusting problem.

Aluminum panels, not steel.

Don't believe they will fit properly without drilling holes into your car's wheel wells. Let us know otherwise.

I don't have high hopes, but I'm praying the SC will be able to offer some advice when I take delivery Sunday.

A little aside to this topic but related to wheel wells. Here is a picture inside my front wheel well. It is strange that there is such an exposed area/opening for road wash (and rodents) to get into the vehicle. Can anyone verify if their front wheel well looks the same please ?

How'd it go?

Not installed them yet. Might have a go this weekend!

Ok, a quick look and they don't fit. So avoid mine!

Unlike with the Y and 3, I feel it will be a long time coming before someone invests in custom flaps for the S or X - too low of a production volume to justify investment in molds, etc. For this reason, I was quick to install $20 generic flaps last August - with zero regrets.

 

[Proppilot]

Agreed. You NEED them. Had first snow yesterday and mine already showed wear from upwash.

Where/how did you fasten them up high ? A screw through the flap into the wheel well plastic ?

Yep. No regrets.

I live in an apartment and dont have tools. What is the best way for me to install these mud flaps? Pay a shop to do it for me?

Have a friend do it.

Front wheels you can do just by turning the wheels left and right to get at the surfaces. Rear wheels need to be removed. A 2 ton jack will easily lift the car (on the lifting pads)

 

[M4H4X]

Yep. No regrets.

Been meaning to ask you -- what was the purpose of the screw in the fender?

@M4H4X I just wanted a tight seal between the double sided tape and flap. Probably could get by without it. No regrets.

Does not fit. I am trying to get a refund with zero success so far. Seller has stopped communicating. Fyi

 

[jm404]

I’m about to cave just use the generic flat ones

 

[Plaidish]

Here is what is embossed on the flaps.

I asked the seller prior to buying if it fit the plaid/long range 2021 and he said yes. Clearly it doesn’t and wasn’t designed for it.
