So @das mo posted about the fitting of his rear mud flaps here:
"I'm in the wheel arches I'm kinda not sure if the parts on top shouldn't be behind the parts on the bottom. Then they would be solid."
And I've looked at mine and they are identical. I'm in two minds:
It does seem to make sense that they are under the wheel arch liner so that muck and water will run down directly to the ground; if you fit them in front then muck and water has a chance to go down the back.
However, the lower part of the wheel arch liner is completely unsupported and indeed can very easily be moved apart:
Added to this the front wheel arch liners are fitted behind the front mud flaps?
So which way is right?
I'm going to say I think the rears should be fitted in front.
