Normandy Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Hey everyone, I recently bought some splash guards for the front wheels from " Fords parts discount outlet.com". Their FoMoCo, however I cannot for the life of me figure out their very poor instructions. Has anyone installed these before? Two of the holes they inform me to drill "hole U" do not exist and the fitment of the splash guard to the car is just awful. It sticks out too far and leaves a rather large gap between the wheel well and the guard. I appreciate any help. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 The ones I've used fit perfectly. Sounds like those aren't the right ones. Check the part number against fordparts.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normandy Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) The ones I've used fit perfectly. Sounds like those aren't the right ones. Check the part number against fordparts.com. The instructions claim that its for the Ford: edge, excursion, Lincoln XKX and Navigator. The guards are too deep to sit flush with the fender. They run right into that "bump" for lack of a better term, inside the wheel well. Where did you purchase yours from? Any pictures I might be able to see? Thanks Edited March 10, 2014 by Normandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 I don't have any on the Edge, but those sound like the flat universal fit versions that won't fit anything well. Get the molded ones that are specifically for the Edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Doesn't sound right that the molded ones would fit so many vehicles. Double check the part numbers. It's possible they just don't fit very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ls973800 Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Can you post the part numbers you got with the flaps. You don't have the appearance package on your Edge do you (different lower molding I believe than the standard molding)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PartsPaul Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Ford OEM splash guards are part number 7T4Z-16A550-A. Anything else is a wanna be part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normandy Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Ford OEM splash guards are part number 7T4Z-16A550-A. Anything else is a wanna be part. No, these are FoMoCo parts. I believe the more accurate part number ( after seeing yours) would be 7T4J-16A262-AA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the more accurate part number ( after seeing yours) would be 7T4J-16A262-AA Yours is the engineering number. I posted the service part number. After 30 years pushing this stuff, I still don't understand why they have to have both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 30 years pushing this stuff, I still don't understand why they have to have both. Have to have both? By that are you referring to the "engineer number"? Anyway i was able to install the redundant things. I had to cut about 20% out of them to get them to fit correctly. I would have sent them back but that would have cost me more money and that is just unreasonable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Tasca lists 7T4Z-16A550-A as the part number for '07-'13 Edge/MKX front mud guards http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-OEM-BLACK-FRONT-SPLASH-GUARDS-MUD-FLAPS-2007-2013-EDGE-MKX-7T4Z-16A550-A-/231075766757 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't really matter though, you'll be cutting them up like I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
good2Bking Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 These are horrible. Horrible. HORRIBLE. I wish I saw this post before I bought the pair. I don't know what's worse, the part itself or the wordless idiot instructions that those of us with a brain can't make any sense of. To make it worse, returns incur a 25% restocking fee and a $25 surcharge, so I'll just quit while I'm ahead and sell these on eBay. Thought I was doing a good thing by going with a FoMoCo part for my Edge, but these are garbage. Can anyone suggest an aftermarket brand that is made for the Edge and goes well with the body side moulding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
