Stoln Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Hi, I have a 2013 SEL AWD and was wondering why I do not have the front mud flaps that extend from the inner splash sheild of both fenders in front of the wheels. I have seem them on other SEL models and wonder why I do not have them. Would someone chime up and tell me if this is an option as I bought my vehicle used but new from a dealer. I would rather hear here first than bother the dealer as they always give you the runaround that you bought the vehicle that way. I do see a spot for them as the splash sheild has a hole for a push screw. I appreciate the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
normcloutier Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 They do not come from factory. They are an add on. You can use the flat Ford ones or the contoured kind from several different manufacturers. Search Mud Flaps or Mud Guards on the forums.

fishx65 Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 My 11 Sel has them but I'm not sure if the 13's came with them. They must have a purpose but I really can't think of one. Maybe to help stop the tire tread from throwing rocks forward???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoln Posted July 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 I was at the dealer and asked why my 2013 did not have the front mud flaps and the service guy checked with the vehicles on the lot and with parts and the sales floor and told me it is a fatory add on for the front wheel drive only. It is to stop the throwing of stones when the front wheel engage, mine being AWD doesnt get them since the rear throw stones mostly. I agree with them as all the ones I see are FWD. I just want them as it look funny with a hole for them and nothing there. Oh well, it is what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
good2Bking Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 It's on my 13 SEL. All I can tell you is don't buy the genuine Ford add on mud flaps for the rear part of the front wheel well. They're a big disappointment. Get the Husky's instead.
