Splash GUARDS & Guardabarros para Hyundai Tucson

Hyundai Tucson Splash Guards and Mud Flaps

As a sport utility vehicle, the Hyundai Tucson can be driven in a variety of conditions. When your vehicle is out on muddy, snowy, or wet roads, using splash guards and mud flaps can be a good idea. Aftermarket products can be installed on your Hyundai in both the front and rear areas near your wheels.

How do you install splash guards and mud flaps?

The terms "mud flaps" and "splash guards" refer to the same product. They are usually sold in pairs to go in either the front or rear wheel wells. Basic installation steps are as follows:

  • Clean the area around the wheels with a gentle cleaner and damp cloth.
  • Give yourself space to work. If youre working on the front, rotate your tires to create space behind your tires. If youre working in the rear, you may have to jack up your car and remove the entire rear wheel to access the well.
  • Line up your mud flaps in their proper position so that you can make sure everything fits before proceeding further. Some products may require drilling. At this stage, youll have to mark your spots and drill the holes.
  • Affix the flaps to your vehicle using screws or bolts. In some cases, you may have received these parts with your purchase. In other cases, these parts may already be in place on your vehicle.
What materials are mud flaps and splash guards made from?

Hyundai Tucson splash guards and mud flaps are made from several different materials:

  • Plastic: This is typically a standard choice for front and rear mud flaps. Plastic can do the job if youre normally driving your Hyundai Tucson on paved roads. Its fairly flexible and durable, and it can be wiped clean.
  • Rubber: This is a more heavy-duty choice, and its one that you often see on larger trucks and vehicles. It may be wise to go with rubber if youre often traveling through tough terrain and during wintry conditions as it provides excellent protection. Rubber mud flaps and splash guards are very durable and quite flexible.
  • Stainless steel: If youre interested in giving your car a contemporary feel and extra protection, you could go with stainless-steel splash guards. Just make sure youre getting something that fits your Hyundai Tucsons year and model.
  • Thermoplastic: These types of splash guards are usually molded using a thermoplastic resin. There may be various sizes of mud flaps, so you can look for one that fits a compact SUV like the Hyundai Tucson.
