Update: The original version of this post included the wrong product link and an unclear title. This post is about the Mabett Rear Wheel Splash Shield Covers, not the mud flaps. Sorry for the confusion.

Take a look just in front of your Maverick’s rear wheels and you’ll notice two open cavities.

Mud, gravel, grass, leaves, and other debris can easily collect in those areas, especially if you drive on dirt roads or in bad weather.

The Mabett Rear Wheel Splash Shield Covers close off those openings and give the wheel wells a cleaner, more finished look.

They use the existing mounting points, so installation is quick and doesn’t require drilling.

For anyone looking for the mud flaps mentioned in the original link, here is the correct page:

Maverick Mud Flaps:

Have you checked those cavities on your Maverick lately? If you already have the covers installed, feel free to share a photo of how they look on your truck.

Don't forget to use the first-order discount.

Had you noticed this area before, or is it something that never really bothered you?
Having open cavities in the wheel wells forward of the rear tires seems like an open invitation for debris accumulation. I drive on dirt roads and there is no doubt that the voids would create a problem.

Before there was an opportunity for that to happen, I eliminated the problem by installing Mabett splash shield covers, so no bother after the install. Easy install, perfect fit.

The splash shields are one of those products that look like they should have been standard OEM.

After a rainy drive, a gravel road, or even a weekend cutting grass, those open gaps near the rear wheels seem to catch a little bit of everything.

Mud, gravel, grass clippings, road grime—you name it.

These Mabett splash shield covers simply close off those exposed spots and help keep the area a little cleaner and more finished.

Not a flashy mod. Just one of those small fixes that makes sense once you notice the gap.

Mabett splash shield covers prevent debris buildup by sealing exposed rear wheel gaps, offering a practical, low-cost solution for the Ford Maverick. These guards close off areas vulnerable to mud, gravel, and grass, providing a cleaner, more finished appearance.

I ordered mine the day I saw a tree rat (squirrel) come out of the cavity. Found some black walnuts in there when I did the install AGAIN after I cleaned them out that day.

The subject of the thread mentions "behind the rear wheels" and links to mud flaps, but everyone else seems to be talking about the shields that mount in front of the rear wheels.

What gives?

:unsure:

You are absolutely correct and I made the mistake of following the link and ordering mud flaps. Not what the thread is about and not what I wanted. Maybe @MABETT can chime in and let me know what to do from here.

Actually, the thread is about mud flaps. It's not @MABETT's fault that @MaverickDragon and the comments following his took it a whole 'nother direction.

Really. Get your facts straight before you start tossing.
This thread is NOT about mud flaps, it's about the covers for the voids in front of the rear wheels if you bothered to read the OP post, and that's what I replied to.

The issue was the link posted in error was for mud flaps rather than what it should have been.
So no, I didn't lead the thread in a different direction, but you did.

So are splash shield covers and mud flaps the same thing?
Nope. Two different products. They posted the wrong link to the mud flaps instead of the rear wheel void covers.
