Rally Armor Mud flap Mounting Instructions – 2004-09 Mazda and Speed 3 Please read the instructions thoroughly before attempting to mount your mud flaps. Rally Armor always recommends professional installation. For high resolution images please visit our mounting instructions area on http://www.rallyarmor.com To protect and extend the life of your Rally Armor mud flap set, care must be taken during parking and reversing. Each mud flap set contains 4 flaps for all four tires of the vehicle.

Step 5) Align your mud flaps by walking away to view the mud flap from the rear of the vehicle. Confirm the edges of the flap are perpendicular to the ground. If needed, make slight adjustments by shifting the upper/lower portions of the flap. Always check each adjustment by walking away from the vehicle and assessing the mud flap in relation to the ground and the body of the vehicle. When flap is correctly aligned, tighten hardware only until snug (Figure G).

Rear Mud Flap Installation Important Note: The MazdaSpeed 3 mud flap application utilizes two mounting points that are riveted closed from factory. In order to install the rear mud flaps, the rivets must be removed using a drill. This process can be performed without rear tire Tip : The vehicle can be jacked up so as to avoid removing removal although some users may find it easier to remove them. the tires. This will lower the wheel allowing for better access to the inner wheel well area.

Step 6) Slide a polygon clip (PolCl) over the side of the rear mounting bracket (Figure S). Step 7) Place round spacer between mud flap and mounting bracket aligning the hole of the polygon clip with the spacer. Hand thread a long screw (1.5SS) through a washer (FenWash) then through mud flap, spacer (.5SP) and into polygon clip. Do not bolt fully. Allow movement in order to align mud flap (Figure T). Step 8) Step away from the vehicle and adjust rear mud flap until perpendicular to the ground.
