I bought the Ram molded guards for fender flares, and wouldnt you know it, they dont fit. Dealer says its the correct part numbers, but they sure look like the holes would only line up if I DIDNT have the flares.
Trying to get them to swap me another set that actually fits.
 
I just went to get my WeatherTech mudguards from Line-X this morning, and they ordered the wrong part (without factory flares, when I have factory flares).

The guy said "WeatherTech 'no-drill' are Sh*t anyway, and won't hold up in the winter, I have front husky's in-stock - and they'll actually hold up to a Canadian Winter." Now they're ordering the rear pair. I'll upload some pics when I get the rear's installed later this week.
 
My Weathertech's held up just fine in the MN winters I've had them.
 
I ripped one off in a corn field on my old F150. I think it was mainly because they come with screws that are optional for use and I didn't use them as I wanted a true no-drill install.

I did like the fit and finish of them though and would purchase again.
 
Just installed my WeatherTechs.........

I opted for Rally Armor flaps. They are urethane and incredibly durable, I've run them for years on my car when I lived on dirt roads in Vermont. I had hard plastic flaps on the Audi before the Rally Armor flaps and ripped one off in a snowstorm. 6 years on the car now and I've never removed them.

~$130, so in between a duraflap and a weathertech. You do need to drill and trim them yourself but it took me about 2 hours total including rotating my tires. I used a cardboard template and it worked great, using two fender screws and then a third bolt on the inside. Was driving offroad yesterday and much less clattering of rocks down the truck. They hang about 6" below the fender. You have to cut an oblong hole in the fronts to clear that bit of bodywork that protrudes forward... wtf was Dodge thinking when the let that little bump into production??
