Question regarding OEM mud guards in a 2012 4Runner SR5. There are a couple threads explaining install, which is pretty straightforward from the 2011 instructions, however on the front there is a liner in place that it appears you need to remove? On the rear it's clear it stays in place but I'm unclear on the front.
Once the new guards are in place it doesn't quite look right in the wheel well. Also, the "plate" you install the guard to is pretty flimsy without the original liner.
I've attached a picture of the mud guard installed on the front D/S.
Then a picture of the front P/S showing the liner still in place before the mud guard is installed. For anyone who has installed these, is this correct? Or should the front liner stay in place. If it stays in place it hangs over the guard in a weird way. It appears the front liner is different in the 2011 vs. 2012, there is a prior thread with photos of the install on the 2011 and it appears the liner stays in place, but it isn't as long as the one in the 2012 and stops at the bottom of the body.
Am I missing something or did I do it right?
