RyanbabZ71 Posted May 27, 2002 Posted May 27, 2002 Anyone else have their screws that are holding in their husky mudflaps rusting? Any ideas on replacements? Its starting to buy me now cause they are noticable
MountaineerTom Posted May 27, 2002 Posted May 27, 2002 Replace them with some stainless steel ones. It you don't like the silver, get some of those little black cap things that you can put on license plate bolts/screws.
Markeaux Posted May 28, 2002 Posted May 28, 2002 When I installed my Husky's instead of using the supplied screws I got some GM oem-type .25" plastic push-in fasteners at a Chev dealer, they have flares/ridges that let them slide in rather easy but won't come out easy - I think the same kind are used to fasten the factory flares. Since I did not have flares I just used the existing .25" (flare mounting?) holes, the holes on the Husky's lined right up with them. I only used a single screw at the bottom of each front flap. Anyway, I would think that those plastic fasteners would work for you too.
siume99 Posted May 29, 2002 Posted May 29, 2002 Use any screw you wish (stainless better). I covered mine with black silicone.
Shaners Posted May 29, 2002 Posted May 29, 2002 After 4900 "grueling" miles and over 11 months on the road, my screws still look fine... LOL!!!
RyanbabZ71 Posted May 29, 2002 Author Posted May 29, 2002 mine have 26,500 miles and have been through two winters and have seen alot of salt. Just the front drivers side and rear pass side are rusty
