Splash Guard is cracked Replacae with new myself?

[robbyrob]

I ask that because I do not want to drill any holes Possibly just unbolt the bolts I see in the pic and replace with new ones?
I see the $100 ones on Ford but from this forum you have to drill them and something about hoping they dont scratch paint. Any suggestions for basic spats that even dumbo here could replace?
thank you

Is this the factory air deflector at the front of the tire? Or an after market mudflap? Mabett mudflaps are recommended by many and lower priced. maxzina is also a possible replacement. If the factory one then likely need to order an OEM part.

That's the factory air deflector.
Pay a visit to the dealer

i broke one of those air deflectors driving up metal ramps while changing my oil. If I remember correctly the Ford part only costs around $25 and it’s easy to replace. If I get a chance I’ll look up the part number and report back.

If that is the one in front of the rear tire, it's an easy replacement. It's probably either part NZ6Z6011398C or NZ6Z6011398D, depending on side. As Hammer said, it's about $25. You do need to make all the fasteners are still there, or you may need to replace some of those as well.

Some road debris ripped one of mine off once, and damaged the rear rocker panel molding (also black plastic) it was partially attached to. Replacing both with new Ford parts was maybe a 10-minute job. No drilling required.

Why? I wouldn't go to the dealer to order the parts, much less to have them look at something that's a 10-minute job requiring maybe two hand tools.

Mabett mudflap
numerous of the one star reviews state they do not fit the Maverick

Not sure how old you think I am, but my desire to talk to parts counter people isn't exactly increasing as I age.

As long as you're willing to spend extra for the privilege, enjoy.
