Has anyone installed mudguards on their 23 F-Sport? Do you have to remove the wheels for the installation?

Thanks

 

Friend did hers. Front you don't.You can just turn the wheel and install the mud flaps. The back if you've got a short ratchet screw drive you can do it. Otherwise you'll have to take the back wheels off.

 

I ordered them and they sent the wrong PN. I sent them back today and they are sending the correct PN they said this time.

On the box it said for instructions (not included in box) ask the Parts Dept to print the page for you. They are supposed to be sending them by email but I haven't received them yet. So I haven't attempted to install mine yet.

 

I have a short ratchet and will attempt to install tomorrow. Appreciate the feedback.

Thanks

 

Let me know how it goes. I expect to receive mine from FedEx in a couple days.

 

Will you show a picture after the install?

 

FWIW, I was able to install both front and rears on our '22 450h+ F Sport without taking the wheels off. It's easy on the front - just turn the wheel so it's out of the way. On the back, it's tight but if you have the right tools you'll be able to do it.

 

We had them installed at purchase and after about 6 months, I noticed an obvious gap that was a magnet for dirt. I removed the rear mudguards to clean and saw "F-Sport" stamped inside (we don't have an F-Sport), which explained the gap. Returned to the dealer and they replaced with the correct ones.

Super easy to remove and reinstall with a phillips head bit and wrench.

 

Received my Mud Guards today. Looks like a project for another day. They sent me the install instructions if anyone needs them.
See attached. Wasn't aware I'd have to drill the rear to install them.

 

I installed mine without removing the rear tire and without drilling. You are installing the screw into plastic so push the screw hard as you turn it or start the hole with a self tapping screw, no need to drill a hole.

I'll give it a go after returning home from church today. Thanks for the info.

 

Where did everybody purchase their mud guards?

 

Purchased mine from Parts.LexusofWesleyChapel.com. They have a sale going on for April. They have money off every part plus free shipping.

 

Okay, I got the mud guards installed today. I'm not really sure I like the design. There is a deep cavity all the mud, rocks and debris will be caught in and will have to be emptied on car wash day.
Unfortunately for me I didn't have the proper tools to be able to install without having to take the rear wheels off. But it's all good. I was able test the Modern Spare Jack and equipment I purchased as well. Everything went good.

Are the mud guards the same for the 350 and 350H ?
