Before installing the mud flap I slid that part inside the trim and then added the screws afterwards. This is just how it ends up. I tried 2 sets of mud flaps and they all look the same way only on this side for some reason.The top is not clipped behind the fender trim.
Mine did the same thing. Ended up taking them off and putting the Tesla flaps on. Couldn’t get over that not sitting flush.Before installing the mud flap I slid that part inside the trim and then added the screws afterwards. This is just how it ends up.

The Basenor brand ones which I have been posting comparison photos of in this thread, have a metal clip on each flap which secures very tightly the flap to the fender plastic. https://smile.amazon.com/BASENOR-Te...words=basenor+mud+flaps&qid=1628278262&sr=8-2Anyone have this issue with their mud flaps and how did you make it sit flush?
Here’s what I tried with no success.

Hmmm that is interesting. What about the rear bolt? Did you have to remove it? With these I didn’t.The Basenor brand ones which I have been posting comparison photos of in this thread, have a metal clip on each flap which secures very tightly the flap to the fender plastic. https://smile.amazon.com/BASENOR-Te...words=basenor+mud+flaps&qid=1628278262&sr=8-2
There is 0 gap on the flaps in that area and the metal clip is very secure, in fact it's difficult to remove the metal clip if you want to take the flaps off. I had to bend the clip in order to do so, and then bend it back after it's removed.
The Basenor flaps also don't have the large rectangle hole in them like many of the plastic clones do. It has a solid face.
In the long run I think I’ll either go with Rally Armor because they seem to have the best protection, but they’re just pricey.The Basenor brand ones which I have been posting comparison photos of in this thread, have a metal clip on each flap which secures very tightly the flap to the fender plastic. https://smile.amazon.com/BASENOR-Te...words=basenor+mud+flaps&qid=1628278262&sr=8-2

Yes, I used WD40 and slowly removed them without issue. There's also an alternative method some use of slicing the plastic on the mud flap around the hole for the bolt, allowing you to put them on and only needing to remove the bolt just a tad, enough to slide the plastic under. But removing the bolts and installing both rear mud flaps took about 10 mins.Hmmm that is interesting. What about the rear bolt? Did you have to remove it? With these I didn’t.
See I wouldn’t want to mess with that rear bolt so I will pass on those.Yes, I used WD40 and slowly removed them without issue.

Yeah mine went easily as well. Out of caution I just used WD40 and went a tad slower but in reality could have just unscrewed both of them in under a minute.FWIW, the bolt removal wasn't an issue for me. The bolt unscrewed easily.
Nice flaps for protection but horrible company to work with if you encounter any issues with their product. I find them to be quite snobbish.In the long run I think I’ll either go with Rally Armor because they seem to have the best protection, but they’re just pricey.
I mean I wouldn’t mind getting Tesla flaps up front, but it just looks odd to not have flaps in the back in my opinion.Nice flaps for protection but horrible company to work with if you encounter any issues with their product. I find them to be quite snobbish.
We have OEM mud flaps on our MY front only... looks and works fine.I mean I wouldn’t mind getting Tesla flaps up front, but it just looks odd to not have flaps in the back in my opinion.
Did you end up leaving the Tesla OEM flaps up front and the amazon ones in the back?As an update on my previous reply, 2 posts above this one, I installed one of the Tesla mud flaps. I confirmed the difference in height off the ground, with the Basenor flap at 4.25" and the Tesla flap 2.5". This nets a 1.75" difference between the 2 brands of mud flaps. Interestingly enough, I can confirm what @jcanoe has found with his MY, in that the left (driver) side mud flap height is higher than the right side. On mine it's .25" higher.
The unlabeled photo shows how it looks with the Tesla mud flap up front and the Basenor one on back, and to be honest in real life you don't notice they are different unless you got down low and close. The other photos show how the flap looks from directly behind it, and then what the estimated spray area could be from rocks/debris under the front tire. If you compare that to the spray area of the Basenor mud flaps as seen in my previous post, it's quite the difference with the Tesla flaps greatly reducing how much of the door could be hit with stuff.
I'm going to stick with the Tesla flaps up front and likely keep the Basenor flaps on the back. I'm hoping we'll get some rainy weather soon so I can drive around and try to photograph and share the difference in the road crud that gets slung up between the left side (which still has the Basenor flap on) and the right Tesla flap side.
