Here is what i bought and will be returning for context: A-Premium 4 Pcs Mud Flaps Splash... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08VJDBYFV?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I just picked up the PPF from Tesla for that rear bottom areas. Looks like whatever you get rocks will hit that area.
RPM's mud flaps just got back in stock. If anyone is interested. I was waiting on them, as I seem to like the look of them the best. Model Y Mud Flaps Screwless Type (Set of 4 - $39)
Final fittest was fairly loose on the front and the rears required drilling (which the listing did not seem to imply would be required).
Anyone know if the Y and 3 mud flaps fit the same? tesla gave me an extra set of the ones for the 3 (2018) and our Y is coming in 2 weeks
I finally washed the car yesterday after all the snow and salt on the road in NJ.. The lower bottom back door area had a little paint chips from debris and the black plastic rocker trims are pitted as well. This is from driving from the end of december until now since the car sat for 2 months before that. I got the Tesla mud flaps installed when they first came out and about to install the PPF there so hopefully those two will minimize the damage...
They are different. I would sell the Model 3 mud flaps and purchase mud flaps specifically made for the Model Y. There are more choices now than even a month ago: Tesla (front only), Amazon, eBay, Tesmanian, RPMTesla, EVMudflaps.
Hello wacko from rdf ....and what are the best fit mud guards in terms of fitting. I don't like rally car look of oem
I installed the OEM front mud flaps on my Model Y. I am satisfied that these prevent 80 to 90% of the spray from the front tires on the doors of my Model Y. I may purchase, install the Tesla PPF on the rear doors when it gets a bit warmer. For images and descriptions of some of the available mud flaps see this thread. If you don't want to read the whole thread then work backwards from the end: Mud flaps & Model Y
Installed some mudflaps I got off Amazon. For those that installed a rear mudflaps. the screw that you loosen up on the bottom, is it held in place with a welded on nut? I would think it's welded on. When loosening the screw, it is turning freely and it feels like the nut is not welded on. I didn't unscrew it all the way. If I had to, I would need to pull while loosening it.
It’s just a bolt and washer. 10mm, nothing fancy. The thread is kind of fine, which is sort of unusual but that’s all. I unscrewed it with my impact driver, put the flap on, screwed it on again with the driver, and called it a day. 5 minutes per side.
seems straight forward enough, but the screw is half way out and you can angle it by like 15% in all directions.
I installed the molded ones that are Amazon and ebay now. Very nice and easy to install. HOWEVER, when trying to remove the hex bolt on the left rear, it appeared stripped. I tried to get a wrench in above the molded fender piece and it just wouldn't loosen up. I finally had to cut it off with a hack saw and replace it. Not sure why it came loose and wouldn't fully release from the nut. But I did discover that the nut is something odd that I've never seen before. Rounded. No wonder my wrench couldn't grasp it! What the hell is this thing and why did it release from whatever was holding it in place?
I think that is what is happening to me right now, what I was describing before your post. How did you get inside the bumper get the nut out ?
