I'm surprised the mud flaps to the Palisade (i have a limited) are small. One might think, as an SUV that it would have bigger flaps.
I have both front and back (dealer only ordered the back flaps....duh!), and they're a cinch to install. 10seconds each one, if that.
BUT
we just had snow/rain.....and the entire side of the vehicle is filty in a way that my Durango never got. OMG. I was trying to figure out how. Wonder if the flaps have anything to do with it??
 
I see E-Bay is selling mud flaps OEM for 27.00 without pins do you need new pins or can you user the old ones
 
Yeah, u can use what's already on the truck. Again, a cinch.
But they're really not very functional, more stylish. The lower side of the doors get filthy still.

I don't have flaps, and haven't noticed that issue, even on a hyper white vehicle. At least not in the rain anyway. We haven't had much in the way of snow.

true, Rain it's unlikely to see road filth like we do for snow here in Colorado.
 
I just installed these today, they are a perfect fit. They came with the plugs. They are a bit larger than the Hyundai flaps so will do a better job of protecting the vehicle and my trailer. I didn't have a chance to wash the car so what you see in the pictures is the dirt that got splashed up after using a car wash. Definitely worth it, and they don't stand out or take away from the lines or look. I was worried with the White they might stick out but they blend in nicely

Hey thanks..I have the same car with awd...just what I was looking for...did you have to remove wheels to install ..did you have to drill new holes ?

Nope, tires were on and straight. 2 screws from the tire well on each corner. one plug each on the rears. I had trouble getting the left rear plug in as there is more meat on the plastic bumper so i used the back of a socket to push it in place. They Fit perfectly.
It's a #1 Phillips screw, i have a 1/4" ratchet with the bit, the product comes with a screw driver but it was slow and painful

Those look like they would do a better job than my official Hyundai flaps. Now wishing I got these. My Hyundai flaps are so small, you can barely even tell they are there.

That’s why I spent hours researching them. I had originally planned on getting the stock ones just like I did on my sante fe. But I felt they wouldn’t do the trick. I considered adding a universal one on top of the stock flaps extending them down. But then came across these. 👍

That's why I didn't get the Hyundai flaps, they were short. The one in the show room had them and they didn't look like they would do anything other then for looks. I spent hours researching them and I was almost going to get the factory one's and add a flat universal one to it to get the length I wanted. Then these one's popped up on my feed.

They look great. Nice find.

Correct..just a wasted add on ..these appear much more effective..would be nice if color matched vehicle...now waiting for more options of side body molding..
 
I had bought a set of the OEM guards a few days ago off eBay. Wish I saw these first since they look like they'll provide more protection looking just a little longer than the OEM flaps.
 
Just installed the Mayton flaps. They look and fit great. However, I noticed the rear wheel wells were quite flimsy and actually seem loose? Grabbing the lowest portion of the well (where the flap attaches) I could easily deflect the well in and out over an inch with very little effort... with the passenger side being markedly worse than the driver side. Anyone else notice this?

mine also has some movement..kind of cheap / sloppy assembly ..
 
I installed the Mayton flaps last week, but it took about 4 weeks to deliver. I reused the original push fastener on the rears as the new ones did not want to go all the way in an click, no problem with the front.
Yes, they were a little flimsy in the back. They fit well and like nice.
 
I did find that the front flaps have a hole for a pin on the underside of the car, like the rears. The rears have a pin we can reuse for the installation of the flaps, but the fronts do not.

I orders some push pins on eBay. Probably don't really need them, but I can be OCD at times and figured for a dollar I'll order some pins and secure that front hole in the front flaps.

The one's i got had 3 mounting slots on fronts and back. They provided new push in type buttons, and reused the screws that i removed
