Just curious- it looks like plastic rivets are used. Do you need a plastic rivet gun to install these flaps?
Check ebay site, directions posted. It appears from the directions that are posted a plastic rivet is installed. Make note of the pictures and number of holes. I'm sure someone will reply shortly who has experience with the install.

Thanks for the help. From what I am seeing overall, the Weathertechs seem to be the ones to get.
I actually picked up a plastic rivet tool with 40 assorted rivets last night for $12 at Harbor freight just in case.

Accessory guys used Huskys instead of the Weathertechs that I requested. Was difficult to see in the dark tonight when I picked up the truck. I'm not happy with the fit with the lighting in the driveway. I'll be calling them back in the morning. There's a 1/4 inch gap all the way around the flares.

What did you find out about the 1/4 gap Gman? Husky told me they would swap me out when they make new ones that fit correctly. Still waiting....

Stop waiting and pick up a set of WeatherTech! I went back and forth with husky for 3 weeks. They rushed their product to market, period.

FYI the Gators are on sale today and tomorrow only at SharpTruck.com !

Glad I read up on mud flaps. I just ordered the gator backs for 230.00. Seems pricy but the quality looks great.

I did Duraflaps on mine this weekend. Mine are 14” wide extra long. The coverage with 275 and 285 tires is excellent. I would not have wanted and shorter or narrowe

I opted for the factory splash guards, but , I did not use the included plastic rivets. I used these factory style push in fasteners. Just drill the 1/4" hole as instructed by the installation sheet and install them. They work great!
