    Before I start installing my slash guards, I wanted to know if someone can give me a heads-up. I bought mine from Prius Chat Shop and they come with decent directions, but I wanted to know if there are any suggestions for taking out the pop in plugs. Also, if there are any additional heads up for the job. I'm planning on just turning my wheels for the front and jacking up the car with a floor jack for the rears.
    I have read the threads on the subject, but looking for more guidance. I do intend to use a fourth screw to hold down the flap tip.
    Thanks,
    Fred:)

    you'll need to remove the rear wheels if memory serves, other than that it was simple

    Here is the best installation instruction I've seen here. It has many photographs and explains most everything. I used these instructions and installed mine in less than an hour. Good luck!! Molded Splashguard Installation

    The parts for the front and back are different. Im talking about the mounting parts that hold the flaps. Make sure you pay attention to which is what.

    Put some wood under the front of the front tires to act as a wheel block, unless you are on a rearward slant, then put them under the back of the front tires.

    I just installed a clearshield in my garage and am just now getting ready to tackle the mud guards.
    I may post some clearshield pics later.
