Same thing.
I used a Thin flat flat screw driver and my sore fingers. The driver side rear hole needed to be opened up just a tiny bit to clear for the factory mount location. I drilled it a little right in place. If I really worked at it and shimmied it around I maybe could have gotten it To line up but it was the last 8 seconds of the job and my fingers were shot. It wasn’t worth popping out all the trim and starting over.
They look great mounted up and finish off the look nicely. They also quiet down road noise a bit as I discovered on my test drive. I hadn’t thought of that when I bought them, but it was noticible when I drove it. The downside is that I hear the sweet sound of the FOMOCO Touring Exhaust a little bit less too.
All in all very pleased for a hundred bucks.
....not quite a five minute install...but they do go in.
Warming them up in the sun is a good idea....but it's cold and rainy here in the Great Northwest right now.
No trimming required...but I used one of those plastic body trim levers I had laying around. Any plastic spreader type thingy will help get the upper edge in between the fender flare and the body metal.
Did have to open up one hole at the bottom rear to line up the screw insert.
Good coverage.....Mud Flaps arrive today.

And just as an FYI...
They look factory as if they were genuine Ford from
The dealership.
Ford should have installed liners from the factory, in my opinion.
