That is a different hole. Behind the wheel vs in front of the wheels inside the wheel well. Here is a link to the Mabett product launch thread which is currently sold out (https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/mabett-new-product-launch-independence-day-sale.69612/) I also put up a...

This is what I have in the back of my truck. It’s good enough for keeping big stuff from sliding around. But if I was going to invest more money and effort I would want something that fits better and stays put...

You can buy the same thing at Home Depot for half the price and save your delivery driver from ruining their back.

My truck came with the rear mirror covering a lot of my view and I hated it. It took me a few weeks to realize that the double ball joint hinge meant I could just lift it up higher with my hand. Raising it an inch helped a lot.

I’ve never seen any other vehicle that had their rocker panels open to the wheel wells like this so it’s certainly not a standard automotive design choice. It’s possible that the Ford engineers intended that gap for rocker ventilation, but I would say that given how easily it becomes choked...

This was what my ‘23 looked like when I first learned about these pockets. There was already zero airflow through that pile of mud. And I live in a city and drive 95% pavement.

You just need a business email to apply and agree to their NDA. It’s unclear how they vet access.

Thanks. I got the wheel arch models from Ford through their upfitter program.

I think I could design some sort of off-ramp that sits at the base of the wheel arch and would funnel everything out onto the doorsill. You would have to remove the felt wheel liner to install anything there though.

I've been pumping out Maverick 3D print designs lately. Here's a pretty simple quality of life improvement for me. This lets me finally fit my favourite coffee mugs in the front console. It contours and clicks into the spring loaded fingers below. Files available here...

I just took a look at mine and yeah there's a bunch of stuff down there. I can't think of an easy way to fix it. It would be impossible to seal the entire wheel arch which is open to the engine bay. Blocking off the windshield dam would just build up snow and ice in the winter. The stuff has to...

I’ll look on mine. But that sounds potentially a lot trickier because of engine airflow

I think any air holes or mesh in the wheel arches would quickly get choked with mud

I printed in PLA, but I live in BC where it doesn’t get insanely hot in the summer. There’s also no stress on the part so I’m not worried about creep at higher temperatures. If you are further south PETG is not a bad idea.

I’m not interested in running a 3D printing business. If someone else wants to pick up the design and manufacture sell it online. I’ll license it to whomever for $1 per set sold.

The area that is blocked off is all plastic already. The metal rocker panel is way down below and has plenty of drainage.

I’m not the first to notice or solve the issue. Mabett already has a product designed that they say will be selling in a few weeks that’s more like a flat cover that lines the wheel well. https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/mabett-new-products-sneak-peek.68841/

I just published a free 3D printable model that blocks off the hole in the wheel well: https://makerworld.com/en/models/1558379-ford-maverick-rear-wheel-arch-debris-cover

If you want to wash it out I recommend parking with the front uphill and then removing the air deflector (two 7mm bolts and a press in plastic plug). The air deflector needs to slide up and towards the middle of the car to come out. It’s a little bit tricky to put it back and requires a bit of...
