How to Install Mud Flaps on Tesla Model Y: DIY Guide

Quick answer

Installing mud flaps on your Tesla Model Y is a quick DIY task that requires no tools. Just snap them on in under 10 minutes.

Step-by-step installation

1. Step 1: Prepare your vehicle: Park on a level surface and turn the steering wheel straight. Clean the area behind each wheel where the mud flap will attach. Make sure the surface is dry and free of dirt for a secure fit.
2. Step 2: Position the front mud flaps: Hold the front mud flap against the wheel well. Align the tabs with the existing grommets or holes. Press firmly until it snaps into place. If it doesn't snap easily, check alignment; do not force it.
3. Step 3: Install the rear mud flaps: For the rear, you may need to remove a bolt if your Model Y has one behind the wheel. Use a screwdriver to unscrew it, then snap the flap on and reinsert the bolt. Some 2020-2024 models have a bolt; check before starting.
4. Step 4: Check fit and test: After all four are installed, turn the steering full left and right to ensure clearance. Drive slowly over a speed bump to confirm no rubbing. The flaps are shorter than OEM to avoid contact with speed bumps.
