Well, Volks, I got those nice mudflaps/stoneguards installed
yesterday.  The trick is to pry open the spring clip first then install.
Use a curved object with a handel to pull/push them into place.  WHY THEY
DID NOT USE THE SAME TYPE CLIP AS ON THE REAR MUDFLAPS IS WAY BEYOOND ME !
Anyways, I used liberal amounts of anti-seize on all the threaded
hardware.  If you didn't you'll be sorry later !  I then washed the wheel
wells well ( like that one don't you ) and sprayed black, ruberized
stoneguard everywhere where the clips made contact with the body.
PROTECTION FROM THE RUST DEMONS !  So.......they look pretty neat now and
now we'll see how long they stay in place.

Cheers

Frank
