videlli Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Did anyone else not get factory splash guards on a new T.C. ? I bought what I considered a "loaded" model with some options and features that I may rarely if ever use yet no factory flaps came on board. The way the body "rolls under" at the rocker panel area allows the tires to fling road grime onto the front doors and rear bumper whenever it is wet out (often since I live in Portland). A trip to Northwest Auto Accessories here in town brought my attention to some aftermarket guards called Roadsport Pro Fit by Powerflow. The packaging lists which size number fits what vehicle. For a Transit, the fit chart says size #1 for both front and rear. The price seemed a bit high ($60 - $80 for two pair) to chance getting stuck with them if not a good fit (non closeable package) A web search took me to J C Whitney who listed the same guards as "guaranteed to fit" at the blowout price of $11 dollars a pair during a free shipping special ! These arrived today and I have only had time to "test fit" them. I have to say, they look like a great match fit wise. They are a black molded somewhat rubbery poly material contoured to fit around the (dark gray) fender flares (not just a flat stamped out flap) The quality seems rather good for having paid less than $25 delivered. I will report back regarding the install and performance results. Videlli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Wilson Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 My 2012 XLT came with splash guards.... front and rear. The rear also has rock guards in front of the rear tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Please let us (me) know how your new guards fit. I agree that there is always a lot of road crud behind both front and rear wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azdamay Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 FWIW, last time I checked various Ford dealers were selling OEM Ford front and rear splash guards on eBay. They are easy to install as a retrofit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
