I have them also, I've always used Husky but I like the upper mounts on these better, No double sided tape.. much better.

I just wish they would hurry up and come out with the model for the trucks with wheel moldings like the KR edition. Can't wait to get my hands on some

Glad you're happy with them. I've been waiting two weeks for Weathertech to call me and tell me mine are in.

I have been thinking about the back steel locking bar squeezing against the aluminum and road salt being a catalyst to some aluminum corrosion.
Any thoughts?

I used a piece of their scrap clear wrap on the inside edges I got from the tint shop they use for rapping bumpers/hoods/paint.

I installed them as well and like them. I didn't want to deal with double-sided tape, doesn't seem like a good option, especially during winter with snow slush build up on them.

I'm gonna use "Fluid Film" and soak the inner fender well lip with it. This should apply a protective barrier.

The metal turn tab on top is coated with rubber. It's not bare metal. They don't advertise it, but it's coated rubber

I installed mine yesterday too. My lock bars had a rubber covering over it so there would not be contact of metal to aluminum. Also came with aluminum washers for the rear mud flaps because they get bolted through existing holes.

I also ran a bead of clear silicone inside the mud flap before pressing it to the truck. I did the same on my 2011 and never had a problem so figured it couldn't hurt.

I wasn't aware of the rubber over the steel tab. That's great.
I really need some flaps. The power running boards are getting sand blasted from the winter road spray.

Mine are to be delivered this tomorrow: I also have some of the 3M Clear Film that I am going to use under the part that comes in contact with the paint.

One question: The guard comes pretty close to the exhaust: any problem with the heat during a Regen on the 6.7?

for the rear, I put the washer on the phillips screw side on the tire side. Tried to just use the screw and put the washer on the back, but the screw was sloppy through the hole on the actual flap.

so from a side view have they added a "curve" to it like the Husky's? Instead of a straight down profile.
