Installed Tesla OEM Mudflaps today

[Dahongfei]

Finally received my flaps from Tesla today and put them on.

1) front was easy, just a few punch clips
2) back was OK, have to pull up plastic trim to install clamps to reinforce them. Assuming, this is done because the rears are so much bigger.
3) the look is clean, matches trim nicely and should help with Rocks
4) even on low setting, plenty of clearance and no scraping on speed bumps or anything

Can I ask how these are holding up? I bought some off Amazon and they were not very secure they would flop around while driving and eventually one of them broke.

If one looks at the gaps surrounding the install they are pretty bad. I have them on my truck, and while in service they installed them for me. The service center said they were horrible, and they shook heads when explaining it to me.

Not saying it isn't clean, yet mud flaps are for mud. Those gaps fill with it. Drive around on pavement all the time and just water, maybe not so bad. Another example of poor aftermarket parts from OEM. Others just do it better, or will do it better.

Do be careful on aftermarket. One does want them to rip off rather than damage the entire area of connection if they come into contact with ground or something heavy. So bolt on mud flaps made of steel wouldn't be flaps. They would be mud solid somethings.

Really well, no dirt filling up inside and they look great

Installed my aftermatket flaps and comparing to your pics, mine looks a little bigger. Hope it holds up and doesn’t hit the ground. Seems sturdy and seamless though, quick install using OEM plastic rivets with an addition of single metal clip for each of the fronts. Just got tired of muddy water splashing on the rear panels. Other than looking good, those OEM front flaps are only half useful.

Ooops forgot that there is one OEM torx screw underneath that you use for each so I guess (hoping) it will not fall off.

I have those same OEM mud flaps. It's been a few weeks and so far nothing has broken. Not for a lack of trying as I easy entried them down on to a curb. UGH!!!

Watch out backing up over a high curb or obstacle ... truck lowers after parking and could crush flap. Almost got me.

Just ordered the OEM mud flaps and this is a great tip. I didn't think about this scenario. Thank you for mentioning it!

Are they still holding up? Who is the manufacturer? Need something for salt on roads - trying to decide whether aftermarket or Tesla. Thanks!
