    Splash guards gasket install

    Hey All,

    Anybody have any thoughts on installing the rubber gaskets on the splash guards? They came with staples, but I have no idea how to get them through the metal guards.

    THANKS!!

      You should be able to reuse the holes that are already in the splash shields. If the holes are too small then just use smaller staples or drill the holes slightly larger.

              Then forget the staples and use 3M weatherstrip adhesive.
