4. Setup (Installation)

The WeatherTech No Drill MudFlaps are designed for a straightforward installation without the need for drilling into your vehicle's painted metal surface. Installation typically involves utilizing existing factory mounting points.

4.1. Tools Required

• Basic hand tools (e.g., screwdriver, wrench) may be required depending on your vehicle's specific mounting points.

4.2. Installation Steps

1. Prepare Vehicle: Park your Chevrolet Trailblazer on a level surface and engage the parking brake. It is generally not necessary to remove the wheels or tires for installation.
2. Identify Mounting Points: Locate the existing factory mounting points within the wheel well where the mudflaps will attach. These are typically screws or clips that hold the fender liner.
3. Position MudFlap: Align the appropriate mudflap (front/rear, driver/passenger side) with the vehicle's fender contour and the identified mounting points. The mudflaps are custom-molded for a precise fit.
4. Secure MudFlap: Using the provided hardware or existing factory fasteners, secure the mudflap firmly to the vehicle. Ensure all fasteners are tightened to prevent movement. Do not overtighten.
5. Repeat for Remaining MudFlaps: Follow the same procedure for the other three mudflaps.
6. Final Check: After installation, visually inspect all mudflaps to ensure they are securely attached and properly aligned with the vehicle's body.

5. Operating (Usage)

Once installed, the WeatherTech MudFlaps operate passively, providing continuous protection for your vehicle's lower body and paintwork. They are designed to deflect road spray, rocks, mud, and other debris that can be kicked up by your tires, especially during driving in adverse conditions or on unpaved roads.

The contoured design ensures that the mudflaps integrate seamlessly with your vehicle's aesthetics while effectively performing their protective function.

6. Maintenance

WeatherTech MudFlaps require minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning will help maintain their appearance and effectiveness.

• Cleaning: Wash the mudflaps with soap and water using a soft brush or cloth. For stubborn dirt or grime, a mild automotive cleaner can be used. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
• Inspection: Periodically check the mudflaps for any signs of damage or loosening of fasteners. Re-tighten any loose fasteners as needed.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the material or finish of the mudflaps.

7. Troubleshooting

• Mudflaps appear loose: Check all mounting fasteners. Ensure they are securely tightened. If a fastener is stripped or damaged, contact WeatherTech customer support for replacement hardware.
• Mudflaps are not fitting correctly: Double-check that the correct mudflap (front/rear, driver/passenger) is being installed in the correct position. Refer to the installation instructions and ensure proper alignment with the vehicle's contours.
• Excessive dirt accumulation: While mudflaps are designed to deflect debris, extreme driving conditions may still result in some accumulation. Regular cleaning as described in Section 6 will help manage this.
