Speaker 1: Today on our 2017 Ford F150, we're going to be taking a look and showing you how to install the Weathertech easy install no drill mudflaps for the front and rear, part number WT110050-120050. It's also available for the front only, using part number WT110050 and for the rear only using part number WT120050.So here's what our Weathertech mudflaps look like once we have the installed. Now these are not only going to protect our vehicle, but also our trailer for any kind of road debris and anything flying up that may cause damage to the bottom side of our truck or and cargo that's on our trailer. Now it's going to come with the rear and the front as well. So we're going to have a whole set.Installation's going to be rather easy and we're not going to have to drill anything at all. It's going to use a factory mounting points along with a quick turn knob, that we're going to be able to attach directly to the fender.

It's going to come with a tool to tighten up and secure the quick turn knob. And the fasteners are going to be stainless steel, so we're not going to have to worry about any kind of rust or corrosion.Now these are custom designed. So they're going to follow the contours of our truck perfectly. And the material they're made out of is a thermal plastic resin. So it's going to have a extra long life span on them.

So if you're looking for some mudflaps to wither replace or upgrade the ones that you have on your truck. These are going to be a great option, that we're not going to have to drill into our truck. And they're also going to protect our truck from any kind of road debris. So now that we've gone over some of the features and seeing what they look like, let's go ahead and show you how to get them installed.So we're going to start on our driver's side front here. The first thing you're going to want to do is, you're going to want to turn the wheel all the way to the left.

So we have a little bit more working room right here. At the very bottom of the fender liner, we're going to have two fasteners that we're going to have to remove. So you're going to want to grab a 5.5 millimeter socket and we can pull those two out. You're going to want to hold onto the hardware as well.Now if we come down and just right behind that, we're going to have a plastic push pin fastener that's holding it in as well. So you're going to want to grab a flathead screwdriver or a trim panel tool or whatever you can get in there.

You're going to want to go underneath and try to pry it out and pop it out. So we can go ahead and pull our chip guard off here. Now there is another plastic clip holding it in place. So again just take a trim panel tool or a screwdriver, you're just going to pop that out of there. And the chip guard is not going to get reinstalled.Now behind that plastic guard, we're going to have two bolts. We're going to want to remove that front bolt right here, towards the front of our tire. But again we're going to hold onto that hardware. Be using a 10 millimeter socket to pull it out. So we're going to grab our mudflap now. Now at the very top here, we're going to notice that it has a little cam mechanism. You're going to want to look and it'll have a little lock symbol and an unlock symbol and a little silver tab. You want to make sure that, that silver tab is in the unlocked position. If it's not, you can reach over to the other side and just rotate it until the black piece is on top and the silver piece is all the way against that edge.So we can take our mudflap and we're going to line it up with the holes that in our fender and below. Then we can take the included hex key and we're going to slowly tighten that bolt. Now it will rotate into the locked position, that's okay. And we're just going to tighten that bolt while we're pressing against the mudflap up against the fender liner here. So it has a nice snug fit. It should stop on that locked position and you're going to snug it up until it's nice and snug. You don't want to go crazy tightening on it, you just want it nice and snug.Then we can take our factory fasteners and loosely put them back in place. Then grab that five and a half millimeter socket and tighten them up. Then we can put the other bolt towards the back of our truck back in place. Get it loosely started. Then grab that 10 millimeter socket and tighten it up.Now on the back side, again on the left hand driver side. We're going to have two plastic push pin fasteners holding this piece on the bottom as well as one on the under side, that's holding it in place. So again just take a trim panel tool and we're going to pop those plastic push pins out. And if you're having trouble getting them out or they break, that's okay. We can just go ahead and pop that out or cut the back side of it because these aren't going to be getting reinstalled. Just take a pair of cutters, cut it off. Then we can pull the excess out the back.Now again we're going to take our mudflap and make sure it's in the unlocked position. We're going to line up our holes with the factory holes. We just pulled those push pins out. Then we're going to tighten up that bolt using the included tool. And when you're tightening, you just want to make sure you keep pressure against the fender. And again you don't want to go crazy tightening you just want to get it nice and snug.Now to secure the mudflap and the other three locations. They're going to provide us with some screws. And we're going to take a flathead washer, go on the outside of that. We're going to go through the mudflap and then secure it on the back side with a nut. So if you come behind the fender here, you'll be able to get your hand in and get the nut in place and snug it up from the back side. And then we'll get that final one on the bottom in place as well.Now to snug up my hardware, I'm going to take a 7/16 wrench to hold the nut on the back side and a Phillips head screwdriver so I can tighten down those bolts. And we'll repeat that for all of our hardware. So with our drivers' side in place, we're going to go ahead and repeat that same process for the passenger side. And that'll finish up your look at the Weathertech easy install no drill mudflaps for the front and rear, part number WT110050-120050 on our 2017 Ford F150.
