    I couldn't, even removing a lot of the other snap rivets. I ended up using a hack saw to cut out the old one from below. It had loosened just enough to get the saw in. Replaced with a plastic drywall expander thingie.

    I originally went with the amazon set (@Roadsailing did a review on the regular set on page 12) that looks identical to the rpmtesla one. I was not happy with the fit, it was pretty loose imo.

    I ended up going with this one from Amazon. Fits very snug and sticks out wide enough to cover the tire. Ground clearance on me LR is about 4.5"

    I'm thinking the mudflaps might even increase the amount of debris striking the door in front of the rear wheelwell, whipping the air around the flap.

    Did the PPF do its job? Or did it still get scratched around there?

    I bought the Tesla flaps, and some aftermarket Chinese ones for the back. My car is getting PPF in the full front and in that area in the back as I post this. I’m hoping the combination will keep it chip free, as I too intend to take mine to ski resorts as well as MTB and hiking trails.

    RPM tesla mud flaps came today. Fit well, look good. Installation instructions on the site are different for a model Y 2020. For the rear flaps, the grommet underneath is a bolt that must be unthreaded, number 10 mm socket. It actually is more confidence inspiring to hold the flap in place. Everything else in the instructions works.

    I installed my RPM ones as well and am not confident in the design of the front flaps being as effective as they could be. The design tapers back and looks like it only minimally would protect against debris getting kicked up from the front tire. To be fair, I haven’t driven in the rain (or other conditions that would be good to test) yet with these installed but something I noticed. I also ordered the OEM version and will be trying them on later today to see what those look like in person as they undoubtably will work better to protect (even if they don’t subjectively look as good installed).

    After seeing how the premiums flaps mount, lack of instructions, and RPMTeslas video I decided to go this route too.
