Installing Mud Flaps on a Model Y the Easy Way!

[@thomasjacques5286]

Awesome, as a former USAF Class Room Instructor for my career field, your style should be taught as part of every Instructor's curriculum before they are allowed to teach a class. Bravo. Now I need to get some for my 2020 Y. I think turning the front wheels gives better access to those pins.

[@evdave528]

Tell them what you going to tell them, tell them, then ‘em what you told em. Thanks for the kind words! 73

[@Secondwind2010]

Only use the box end or get a socket.

[@wascarg5341]

Very patiently made video and well detailed . Very nice work!!

[@evdave528]

Thank you very much!

[@bikerfreak714]

Your way of teaching and explaining is the best I've seen on KZbin. Subbed.

[@justinvandergriff5256]

Thank you for this video!! So glad I found this! Exactly what I needed for the mud flaps that didn’t come with directions😊

[@CJHallx]

Great video. Mudflaps are always the way to go. Saves your paint from dings and scratches. I always tell people that if you see mud being splattered behind your wheels then you are kicking up stones as well.

[@Secondwind2010]

Thanks for showing me how to slide up the mud flap. Last time I force it on.

[@brookemiller7230]

Dave, you always make everything look so easy! Thanks for sharing.

[@beelust4312]

Nice video Dave 📹 👍 👌

[@greglambert5154]

Nice job Dave. As you point out couldn’t be easier, matches the original trim perfectly and will protect from debris scratching or damaging the side of the car. All set now to hit the road.

[@kolaphillips4187]

Well done ❤❤❤❤❤

EXCELLENT video Dave. Saving us money. Something we can do ourselves. Thank you for the commercial free experience. Question: What is the name of the music you use at your opening of your videos ? Love it.

[@evdave528]

My music is from Artlist.io I’ll check for the name

[@gurya]

Thanks so much for your excellent instructions

[@ELCEV]

Very detailed video Dave.

[@neilcam6501]

Very clear instructions. Loved it. Thanks.

[@jeffbransky7966]

Those mudflaps have a hollow pocket on the side the dirt hits. Great dirt collector. Question: the underside of the bottom cover at the back of the car appeared to be missing a lot of screws. Was there a design change or was this an oversight?

[@evdave528]

Not sure why they were not there

[@AeroworksProductions]

Nice video guys!

[@RayNLA]

Great video Dave! Thanks

[@dathyr1]

Reading some of these comments, sounds like taking out those machine screws can be a nightmare with the nut it screws into comes loose or breaks off and the bolt just spins and can't completely take it off. Not sure I want to try this on my new Model Y. Have to think about this modification. take care.

[@evdave528]

When you put a metal machine screw in plastic you need to help the screw back out using a flat screwdriver

[@TOandMore]

Back 10mm screw for the mud flap was loosen halfway, and won't come out or can be tighten back. Do you know how to get the screw off then tight it back? Thanks.

[@kgblal]

Why Tesla doesn’t install these mud flaps?

[@Secondwind2010]

You are missing the bolt behind that one

[@petermalires3631]

Dave, I think Greg should take you and your wife out to dinner.. He looks pretty comfortable in that leather recliner while you install those mud flaps. 😁😁

[@Greekpighunter]

Have you ever heard of the word socket wrench?

[@dmdrewitt]

Hey Dave.. what's the name / brand / link to the GoPro holder at time stamp 11:18 please ? Looks a very useful "tool"

[@evdave528]

It’s a Sea Sucker

[@dmdrewitt]

@@evdave528 Thank you. It’s looks to be a very interesting product!

[@Dave34250]

While backing up to a curb to unload my dog with bad hips, I knocked one of the rear mud flaps off and broke the plastic pins. Is there a source for getting replacement pins, as I don’t recall the brand of flap I purchased 3 years ago for my ‘20 Y? Thanks!

[@evdave528]

Yes Amazing has this kind

[@evdave528]

Pins

[@Dave34250]

@@evdave528 Thanks. I found a box of them in various sizes at my local Harbor Freight store. Now I have a lifetime supply. 😉

[@88omarz]

Riding the groove when putting these on is key. Broken a few not doing this I think

[@ye60]

my clips are basically stuck. What to do?

[@evdave528]

Try a small screwdriver with 1/8” blade and find the indentation on the plug and carefully pry the locking pin up

[@denisewerner4504]

Curious, what brand of all weather floor mats did Greg buy? As always love your videos.

[@evdave528]

3D something

[@raymondsewer8620]

I need help while backing the screw out became loose and just spins not sure how to get screw out now need some advice

[@evdave528]

Ray, assuming you mean the 10 mm bolt, if you choose the abstract ocean kit, use the split tool behind the bolt to give it outward pressure and unscrew it counter clockwise

[@wintersportlife]

I have difficulty to remove the screw on the bottom. It only half way out and spinning. Anyway to take it out ?

[@evdave528]

Put downward pressure using the split tool while you unscrew the bolt that helps and do not over tighten it when you put it back in just nice and snug

[@wintersportlife]

I tried it and it didn’t work. I believe there’s threads lock on the screw. I

[@phillipduncan2497]

Definitely bolts missing on the rear pan. Would there be any reason for the shop in Atlanta to remove them when they did the work on the car?

[@evdave528]

I saw they must be on purpose, not bolts I think locking pins

[@Greekpighunter]

If you turn front wheel, it is much easier.

[@wpherigo1]

Great video and explanation Dave. I hope Greg gets a chance to dump the low profile tires ASAP and get something more durable and fuel efficient.

[@barryscott7175]

HELP: while removing the machine screw the retaining clip or bolt inside became undone so now I have a bolt that won't come all the way out and can't be tightened back up either. I've ruined my wife's new Model Y, can anyone help me figure out how to get to the retaining bolt or clip on the driver side rear for that bolt, please?

[@tarab.9401]

Were you able to figure it out? Same thing is happening on my Y.

[@barryscott7175]

@@tarab.9401 Yes, it wasn't too hard: The wheel well liner is flexible, I removed three of the plastic retainers and pulled the grey wheel well liner up and out of the way and with a flashlight I could actually see the nut that had become un-welded. I had to go buy a long nosed pair of vice-grips $10 and was able to lock them onto the nut back in there and then use the 10mm wrench to retighten the bolt from underneath. It was making me crazy, but I figured it out.

[@tarab.9401]

Thank you for your response. Now let’s see we can figure it out. :)

[@88omarz]

Sadly when doing mine that machine screw was broken

[@tomsekerchak2176]

The screw for me was going in grudgingly. I saw videos and read responders said they had the same problem. When backing the screw out or putting it in, remove or screw in part way, reverse your tightening or loosening part way, spray with WD-40 and then continue with the process.

[@evdave528]

Bummer

[@88omarz]

@@evdave528 yea got it sorted. Thanks for the video again.
