Mud flaps for barn doors
- Thread starter shylock
- Start date
I'm normally against buying "cheap" generic things but after trying other sets i thought I've got nothing to loose at that price and i know many others couldn't find any for a barn door either! But definitely no way associated to them!
Just a word of warning regarding shorty front mudguards.
I purchased some last year from ebay. The front guard gently rubs the bottom of the doors, it takes the paint off in no time and then the rust starts to creep around.
I'm just about to remove them, they did more harm than good. It may be possible to take a slice off the top surface with a stanley or craft knife.
Modern paint is so thin, the manufacturers do this purposely to reduce their environmental targets. The same reason as when you unscrew a bolt it was never lubricated. Plus it saves them £££'s.

Can you please confirm that it was the ones in link as they seem to be same for front and back. Appreciate your help.
They are universal, but just fit nice on the rear
Thanks, do you know if they would fit the front? Thanks
Hi, I've just received mine and just can't get them to fit with the screws being too short. Could you send pictures of fittings and how you've done it. Much appreciated.

Can anyone confirm if these are compatible with drive up leveling blocks on both front and rear and also side bars (the Trapezoid Sportline Style) ?
We use the levelling blocks a fair bit on sites but also our side bars have started to corrode at each end where all the road mess goes from the wheels so looking into putting some flaps on to protect them.
Cheers

I've changed my highline 16" wheels to larger/ wider wheels (235/50/18) and now have alot more "splatter" up the sides of van ( everyday driving as its a work/ leisure van). Do these shorty mudguards actually reduce/ stop splatter? Don't like the look of oem mudguards which attach to side of rear bumper. Any feedback appreciated
Thanks for that info, looks like I won't bother getting them if not effective
Does anyone know where I can get a full set of the shorty mudflaps for barn doors ?
Nobody seems to have any stock of the rear ones. I can get the front ones.
I’m not keen on the flat ones.

Look at thread "shorty mudflaps " not good review of them, holding muck behind them at front apparently
Dis you have to trim these and did the fixing holes all line up?.
I got some from the campervan warehouse on eBay .. fit perfectly. Even the place that fitted them said they’d never seen any that fit so well
See them fitted here
That’s not me … just to be clear lol

Can’t understand why they wouldn’t fit as they fit in the wheel arch . There’s a few tailgate conversions and none of them mess with the wheel arches … wonder what the difference is?
its the bumper shape where it meets the wheel arch.
Do you have a link please to the eBay shop
Are these the ones pleaseJust purchased a pair from veebud transporters myself
I've been looking for months and there only seem to be 2 types for us mere mortals with barn doors. I've not fitted yet.
I ordered some from ebay which are universal but they will look crap.So choice is the 2°°°¿¿
