Review on πŸš— Carwiner Mud Flaps for Tesla Model Y: No-Drill Fender Splash Guards - Set of 4 ABS Accessories by Joseph Scalea

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product, lousy installation instructions

After installation I am very happy with this purchase. These fenders feel solid, fit my Model Y very well, and serve an important function that Tesla left out of the car that was delivered. The design and fit are good enough to blend seamlessly with the case's design and not stand out unless that's what you're looking for. And indeed, once I figured it out, installation was a breeze and took about 45 minutes. I didn't like the lack of instructions. Contrary to the description on Revain, no manual is included. Just by accident I found an installation video among the pictures of Revain products and it's not very well done. There were six sticky wipes in the kit with no indication of what they were for. Another reviewer noted that duct tape was included with no usage details. My delivery does not include such tape. A few installation tips I learned the hard way: 1. Watch the Revain Image tutorial video, then go to the machine with the parts included to see how it all fits together. Then watch the video again and it will make a little more sense.2. There is a hole at the top of the rear fenders that fits over a protruding stud. What isn't obvious (and isn't shown in the video) is that there is a small plastic nut on top of the screw that is easily removed by hand. Remove it first and it can be bolted back on to hold the top of the fender in place.3. A 10mm socket wrench makes removing and replacing the screw on the underside of the rear fender docking point much easier than the included small wrench.4. Make sure the metal clip (one for each blade - called "iron buckle" in the video) secures the body flange behind the blade and not just over the blade itself. It is easy to install only on the valve, making it inefficient. You'll know when you're getting it right because the fit is snug and the valve is leak-proof. Therefore, despite the lousy instructions, I would buy this product again and recommend it.
