Frequently asked questions
How do original mud flaps differ from universal ones?
Original ones match the shape of the factory mud flaps for a specific model and mostly fit into the standard mounting points. Universal ones are rubber pairs in standard sizes that are fitted to the wheel arch, trimmed if needed, and attached to the wheel well liner or bumper.
How many mud flaps are in a set, and how do I get enough for all four wheels?
A 4-piece set includes front and rear mud flaps for both axles. If the product is sold as a pair (2 pcs), you need to order two sets for all four wheels.
Do I need to drill the body to install mud flaps?
It depends on the installation type specified in the product details. Mud flaps “in factory mounting points” are fixed to the original mounting points, “with self-tapping screws” are screwed to the wheel well liner or bumper, and fiberglass ones are glued on with sealant.
Will the mud flaps fit if the car has side skirts or wheel arch extensions?
Side skirts, trims, and extensions change the fit, so check the actual bodywork. For some models, there are separate versions — “for vehicles with side skirts” or “with side skirts.”
What sizes do universal mud flaps come in?
Universal Polytep come in 230×375 mm and 280×440 mm with a thickness of 3.5 mm. The sizes of other pairs are listed in the specifications; before buying, measure the area behind the wheel.
Which mud flaps handle winter better — rubber or plastic?
Rubber and rubber-plastic are more flexible, so they handle frost and contact with curbs better than rigid parts. In winter, clean mud flaps of stuck snow and dirt so as not to put extra strain on the mounting.
