Review on A-Premium Mud Flaps Splash Guards for Audi Q5 2013-2017 SUV - Front and Rear (4PCS), Excludes Fender Flares, Running Boards, and Rear Bumper by Bill Lacy

These are good general purpose fenders. Looks high quality and looks great on my 2017 Audi A4 (B9). I have an S line finish if that matters to anyone. The reason I'm taking off a star is because they don't come with the correct screws and rivets and I had to spend a lot of time looking for the right size screws. The screws that the seller supplies with these guards will not fit. This is presumably the case if you need to drill holes. In my case I didn't have to drill any holes. Installation is actually very easy if you include the correct screws or rivets. There are 2 screws in the rear wheel well that you need to loosen. If you have a ratchet screwdriver, you don't need to remove the wheel. I just unscrewed the screws, put the cover on and screwed it back on with the same screws. Easy 10 minute job. The most interesting begins with the front wheels. Spin the wheels to make room. There are four rivets that you need to remove. Removal is easy. All you have to do is insert the pin in the center of the rivet (towards the rear of the vehicle). You can use a small nail or screw to push it through. Once the pin is fully inserted, you can pry the rivet out with a flathead screwdriver. Now you can't reuse these rivets because in my case the pin is not removable. Also, I didn't have a rivet gun to change the rivets. So I decided to use stainless steel screws to attach the flaps to the front. Stainless steel should prevent rust. The two bottom holes are different in size from the top two. After spending a lot of time trying to find the correct screw sizes, I was finally able to find a 1/4" screw (specifically 1/4"-20x3/4") for the bottom two and #12 screws ( No. 12-24x3/ 4"). ) for the first two. If you are wondering what these numbers mean, the first number is the gauge or diameter of the screw and the second number is the number of threads. 20 to 24 threads. The last number is the length. It would be nice if you could find shorter ones. If you have the right screws or rivets, that's a 10 minute job too. The seller can do us all a great favor and send us the correct screws, which makes assembly easier. The dampers look good and work well once installed. I recommend them.
