Rear Spat Install

[Prodigal]

Not going to tackle this today. Way too hot out but thought I would review the process. Found a video online on how to install the front fender trim but cannot find one for the rear. Anyone have a write up or vid of the rear factory spat install? I am not a huge fan of them but with my new tires and wheels I need to install them to prevent paint damage for road debris. Lesser of 2 evils for me.

There's no need for video or tutorial, it's very easy, nothing can go wrong. Put the splash guard in place and you'll see holes that need screws and pushpins that need to be taken out and then new ones inserted. Pushpin is removed by pulling the top middle part out with a small flat screwdriver and then pulling the whole pin out of the hole. You want to remove the wheel for good access.

Thanks, I haven’t opened the box to check them out. Wasn’t sure if there was a double sided tape component to it like the front has that requires a little more care to make sure it’s positioned correctly.

@Charlemagne Ok so I got this going but have a question regarding the screws included. Where do they go? Not seeing anywhere they could go except the bottom hole but there’s no capture nut on the car for it to thread into.

@Prodigal They go at the top two holes, I had metal inserts that the screw can be screwed into. But EU cars have it bit different cause we have a small edge protector there which you don't so that's probably why you have those pushpins there. Looks like you have some plastic under those two top pushpins, take it out and you should see the screw holes.

It looks like this for me:

Super Duper easy, just wing it.

Done. Euro cars must be slightly different. Definetly no place to use the screws. Used 2 new push pins for the 2 upper holes and reused 3 factory push pins for the 3 lower holes. Seems to work fine.
