Tried taking off the factory mud flaps and found this....

Weather tech are great to and no drilling at all

Any updates on what these plugs look like? Would love to see some pics. I'm probably going to take the front OEM flaps off my trailboss and put on larger standard style mud flaps (not molded)

 

Is there a plastic trim piece I could get from the dealer that would cover the hole behind the front mud flap? 

 

Anyone have a US source for the plugs? I don't care if they're not painted

Goodness, when I first saw the picture, I was absolutely mortified at the unpainted steel then realized it was the reflection and you were referring to the holes.

I just got my 2020 Silverado. I'm also looking to remove the mud flaps and install the plugs. I assume that I will need four (4) plugs?

 

Thanks.

Yes.  Follow my link posted right above.  They work perfectly.

OEMs are stone guards not mud flaps. If you remove them and do not replace with mud flaps, you'll soon find out why they are called stone guards; and, the damaged caused to the paint by kicked up stones will take your mind off the hole.

 

I can see using the plug for the exposed hole if also adding flat rubber flaps, but the wrap around molded ones make adding a plug unnecessary, provides added firmness and prevents water and abrasive road grit from getting behind the flap where it can sit and with flap movement being blasted with rocks, stones, ice chunks eventually grind away the paint and rust out the area underneath.

Do you remember what tool you used to remove the flaps off?  Or the size the bolts/screws are? Thank you

Thank you for this. Anything special with installation or is it simply a push plug?

Just a push plug.  Super easy.

sorry to resurrect a dead thread. just got a 21 silverado.  how did these plugs hold up long term?  i see the sharp truck ones say they don't work on the back, and another thread said they were too short for the back.  Wondering if they fell out over time or anything wonky.   thanks!

This is what is on mine. No factory mud guards.
