oskar27 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Before purchasing I drove yesterday a 2013 SEL with the EcoBoost for a test drive. Beautifull ride / cabin and the power from the EcoBoost was amazing. Too busy now to place an order for my 2013 Ltd but I will as soon the holidays are over. Anyone has installed mud guards? Did you buy them from Ford or elsewhere? Also noticed that the windshield does not have a tinted band at the top. Have you done anything about it?

oskar27 Posted December 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Hey Dingo, did you tint the top band on the windshield youself or you had it done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 It's not the top. My whole windshield is tinted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 I installed these low-priced mud flaps on the front and rear of my MKX.These are flat pieces of plain black plastic that did not require any cutting to properly fit and their outer finish matches the black cladding of the MKX.It was necessary to do some measuring of the MKX's existing screw holes in order to drill properly-located mounting holes in the mud flaps.They mounted securely using only two of the existing screws inside the wheelwell, which was satisfying because I wanted to avoid drilling any additional holes in my MKX.They are a thrifty solution that protect the bodysides and rear valance of my MKX.Good luck !

fishx65 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 I did the same thing Haz did with the front mud guards. Looks great and helps a little but I still get a ton of crap on the sides of my 2011. I think it's just the price you pay for the wide tires. Ya could get bigger flaps or adjust them to stick out more but then looks would suffer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitulu Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I had the "brow tint" done when I had the front windows done. Total cost was $65. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symbasys Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I have seen these mud flaps on eBay and was thinking about getting them for my 2010: http://www.ebay.com/itm/150925139483?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 They look like they might be a better/more custom fit than the plain flat ones from Ford. Any thoughts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oskar27 Posted January 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Yes I will also be interested, they look a pretty good set although from the pic cant say how durable they are + I wonder if they fit on a 2013 Anyone bought a similar set in US?

I just ordered a set of these, so once they arrive from China and I get them put on, I'll report back on how they fit and so forth. The description says they only fit 2007-2011, so I wouldn't think they would fit the 2013. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Husky offers a custom molded set that looks comparable, but not identical to the Chinese Ebay seller's item. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oskar27 Posted January 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 They look very good Haz but as they say the picture is not the actual picture of the product. Anyway I got a local address of Husky and I will go and see what I can order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Symbasys Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 I'm ashamed to admit I have not gotten them installed yet. Life, and all that. Hopefully soon - will post results and pics when I get them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sajid.ali Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) I have added OEM Mud Flaps to my 2013 Edge Edited May 19, 2013 by sajid.ali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dvdmull Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Thanks for pictures of cut areas. I have a 2013 edge. Soon after deal purchased mud guards and cargo mat. Instructions say nothing about cutting mud guard. Noticed the holes to be drilled out didn't match screws on fender well. What holes did you use? Did you attach the upper top edge by drilling your own and using the clips with threads in them? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
normcloutier Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I installed ones from Ford. I used holes B and J with the factory screws and added a third screw point with my own clip using hole T. I put a speed nut clip onto the rubber wheel liner so as not to drill into metal and create a rust point. I have attached a template of my cut out pattern. If you print it without any scaling, it should be the right size. OEM Mud Guard.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvdmull Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Thanks I'll try that first thing in morning. B - J - T is the formula. By the way what is a speed nut clip you mentioned? Is it one of the clips with the threaded nut attached that seems to slip on to existing panel to thread a screw into? Mud flaps came with several in bag when purchased. Thanks.

normcloutier Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Yes, the clips that come with the set. I installed the clip onto the rubber liner instead of the metal lip of the fender. The holes mentioned are for a SEL model. Not sure if all models have the screws in the same spot. I cut a template out of cardboard and screwed that into place to see how everything looked/fit before cutting the mud flaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurufarmer Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 I installed the ford splash guards to night on the front and have some black splash guards with Ford logos on them for the back. I dropped the front flaps about 3/4" from the B and J holes. Looks good and I wanted a little more protection for the painted side skirts living in the country. I'll take pictures once completed with the back flaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurufarmer Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Got the back flaps installed over the weekend and got pictures this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
