Ok. I decided on putting these on my EXPRESS because every time it rains around here I get crud along the sides of my truck. Can't say I'm 100% happy. Instructions sheet didn't look like my truck, but I figured them out anyway. Fit was ok, though not perfect. When I drive above 50 mph I hear an annoying wind noise and feel a vibration in the floorboards. Do all mudflaps do this? Maybe I should have gone with the MOPAR , HUSKY or DURA flaps.
Which one's did you get meaning part number? I bought a set to replace the mopar cause those were sanding down my paint on the outside, I have flares also that the Weathertech's fit really great and I have no noise or vibrations.
Gotta go with RammedifIknow.. I have all the same products and they look and work great! I have been a weathertech buyer for all my trucks over the years and never had a problem.
Did you take the factory plastic pieces off behind the wheel openings? :4-dontknow: they won't fit right with these left on the truck
Mine fit like a glove and couldn't be happier with them.
I guess I'm just fussy.:4-dontknow: I did remove the "rock guards" or "spats" . There is an "optional" screw hole in the fronts. Maybe I'll use that. I found the space between the body and mudguards more than I would like.
Please take a picture of this spacing issue cause something does not sound right, maybe you got a defective batch, maybe they sent you the wrong product.
The weather techs are fully adjustable, I have mine out from the body for protection and mainly so they don't rub on the paint. Maybe you need to loosen the screws and adjust them for a better fitment?
Just to resurrect this old thread, but I have the same issue with my Weathertech mud flaps. It's disappointing but I take it as the lesser of two evils.. I'd rather protect the paint even if I have to put up with a little extra noise.
I installed the Weather Tech flaps and I love em. The mounting hole are oval. After starting the screws, you can push the flaps flush against the fender for a nice flush fit.
Using the third mounting hole does hold the flap more securely.
I just installed the WeatherTech flaps on my 14' Sport, and they fit really good. I found that the best way to insure a tight fit, is to push the flap against the outer edge of the wheel opening (not against the face of the fender) before securing the flap. They all are parallel with the tires and 90 degrees to the fenders, except the right front (it's farther away towards the inside of the tire). I discovered that the lower part of the fender is not in line with the rocker panel and tips inward at the front: there is nothing I can do about adjustment other than bending the fender (which I wont do). Other than that annoyance, they look really good.
Im a big fan of all the WT products floor mats mud flaps and window channels i have all these on my truck with zero issues their a little pricey but you get what you pay for.
I have them front and rear. They really do help keep gunk off the sides. I don't know if they can be painted or not. Since my truck is Dark Blue, the Black looks fine.
