Mudflaps removable?
I just went to check out a possible 2nd HCHII for us, and apparently the dealership puts mudflaps on all their cars and tacks on $140.
This wasn't a problem for our last HCHII purchase, because we waited for it straight from the factory and I told them not to add anything. So are they drilled into the bodywork or can they be uninstalled? Thanks, Ian |

Lucky you... click the link and you'll see the installation instructions for the mud guards!!

Re: Mudflaps removable?
I installed them on my 05hch and they are attached by clips and by use of a self tapping screw that threads into the plastic part of the car body, then anchored with the metal clips. All you will need to uninstall them is a screwdriver, maybe a car jack and a jack stand. May need to remove a wheel to get at the screws unless you have a flex screwdriver.

So it will only leave screw holes in the black plastic wheel well liner?

95 - mudflaps
60 - Labor (approximation) --- 155 Looks like they a giving ~ %10-15 discount on the MF and passing on the labor cost. Reasonable from a dealer IMO. If you don't have a jack and not prepared to take the tire off you will find it challenging to install the flaps, especially the rear. I mail ordered mine and installed them myself... I also went the extra step of having them painted which IMO makes the car more appealing. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2481187/4 |
Re: Mudflaps removable?
Ok, there is a plastic flap that gets removed in the rear wheel well upon installation. The Honda dealership's sales department keeps spares of these flaps just for troubler-maker customers such as myself.
So we are bringing the car in for a swap-out. Thanks for everyone's help. |
