Anybody install OEM mud flaps themselves ?

It looks like Fords OEM mud flaps at least for the front of my TC is a good idea and it looks like the OEM ones don't need any drilling on my part to install .  Anybody have experience in doing this ?

 

OEM front mud flaps for my 2018 LWB cargo model are priced a little under $40.00 and if they keep the lower sides of the van cleaner it will be worth it .

I did the front and rear mud flaps on my 2015 LWB and it wasn't too much fuss. It's been 3 1/2 years so I don't recall all the details. IIRC, just a little bit of frustration to keep the edges aligned as you press home the clips that attach the flap to the existing trim. I don't remember if it was just an issue of not enough hands for the job or just how precisely everything needed to be aligned to get the pieces to interlock. But I did have to loosen the fasteners back up a couple times before I got everything to fall into place correctly. But the instructions lay out the process so it's not one of those installs that requires special tools or knowledge.

Thank you very much Don for that info ,  i assume you bought the mud flaps that said would fit your 2015 LWB model since there are a lot of universal mud flaps out there .  Since i live  "Murphy's law" it will probably take me all day to figure out where the fasteners are and then once located at least another 4 to 5 hours trying to figure out how to remove them .

 

If my calculations are correct at least a two to three day job for me and thats working 24 hours per day with no breaks .

 

Thanks again

I think these are the Ford OEM part numbers: Front DT1Z16A550A, Rear DT1Z16A550B

I got mine at PartsCheap.com but they appear to no longer carry them. Here's a link to the Ford Accessories order page:

I dug out the instructions for my set. Here's the photos.
