This job is already done, but I thought I'd throw this out there. Maybe I'll learn something.
I installed some factory Ford molded plastic splash guards on the Crown Vic a few weeks ago. Fit great, work great. The car stays much more clean!
Unfortunately, they required drilling. 2 holes in each steel front fender. I hated it, but I did it.
I chose to paint the drilled holes and liberally applied RTV over the holes and on the screws while assembling. I can only hope that the fender lip won't turn to iron mulch in WI winters!
Not that it matters much anymore (guards are on and I'm not taking them back off), but what are your preferred methods for protecting the sheetmetal in these cases?
