Mudflap Question
Anyone that has put the Oe molded mudflaps on,is it just me or is the fit not purfectly tight to the outside of your fender flare.On the bottom of the rear mudflaps, ford directions tell you to use a pushpin,you can use a pushpin that is the hole for the bracket that stabalizes the rear fender,and you cant use that screw because it has a pressure washer on it that you can;

Yes, the directions are somewhat lacking. If you look at them, it is almost as if they reversed them front and rear.
The front is the push pin.
The rear, I cut off the larger washer with a hacksaw ( cut a V into it, and bend it around the screw ), and then I used a 1/4-20 SS flat washer back on the factory scew.
For the fit to the factory fender flare, you need to watch how tight you screw them in. They don't ned to have the snot tightened out of them, but if you go too tight, they start to gap out on the sides. Back off on the screw a bit, and it will flush up again.
