Video Transcript for Beginner’s Guide to Installing the WeatherTech Mud Flaps on a 2022 Ram 1500 Classic

Hi everyone. Aiden here with etrailer.com and today we're going to be taking a look at the full set of custom fit WeatherTech mud flaps here on our 2022 Ram 1500 Classic. Now, like I said, this is the full set. So, we've got the front set right here and if we move over to the back of the truck, we've got the set for the rear, as well. This is going to be custom fit to match the contours of our vehicle here and be a no drill installation. So, it uses existing factory hardware to get a nice strong fit and provide that nice mud flap for our truck.

Let's check them out. These are made right here in the USA with a high quality thermoplastic resin. It's got a good thickness to it. If your truck is kicking up any sort of rocks or anything, I think it's going to hold up really well and most importantly, it's going to protect the truck back here from any of that debris flying up. These do extend down quite a bit, giving us pretty good coverage, especially compared to what was just sitting on the truck before, which really didn't give any coverage.

You can see here how they kind of match the contour of the truck right here, giving us a really strong fit all throughout. And it uses the existing factory screws, so we don't have to make any drilling or modifications to our truck to make these work. If you don't need the full set, you can just get the rear or the front on their own, totally up to you and what you need for your truck. But either way, they're both going to install the same way. Let's go over that process now.

Getting these installed is going to be really simple. You just want to identify the correct side. So, we've got the rear set here, and on the back here, it'll say LH right there at the bottom. It's pretty hard to see, especially probably on camera, but just look around this area towards the bottom and it'll say LH or RH. LH is for our driver's side here.

I'm just going to set that down and grab our 5/16th socket. And just remove the 2 screws here and up here on our vehicle. When you're removing these, just keep them nearby. You are going to reuse these later. Now, if you don't have this black trim piece like we do here, you can just go ahead and install the mud flap. But if you have this piece like we do, you want to just come down to the underside of that trim piece here, and we're going to take our Phillips head screwdriver and loosen up this screw here. This is part of a kind of push fastener, so we'll just loosen up that screw a little bit. And there's going to be 2 of those. So, we've got a second one more towards the rear of the truck here. Once you've got those unscrewed, you can take a flat bladed screwdriver or a trim panel tool to kind of pop these out just like that on either side. And then that will allow you to remove that whole panel and you can set this to the side, because we won't be reusing this. So, now we can take our mud flap and just line it up with the holes on our truck and reinstall those screws that we removed before. And then we can just retighten that down with the same socket that we used before. Once that rear one is done, they can go ahead and move up to the front set. It's going to be the exact same as that rear one. We've got those same 2 factory screws that we can find just on the inside of the wheel well here. And we'll just replace those and pop them in. And then we can repeat that process on the other side of the vehicle for the passenger side. And then you're done. You're ready to hit the road. And that'll complete our look and installation of this full set of WeatherTech custom fit mud flaps here on our 2022 Ram 1500 Classic. Thanks for watching..
