Tire Rub on Front Mud Flap - Fixed
The front mud flaps are not sitting flush with the body-work on my 2016 TEP.
There is about a half-inch gap between the back-side of the flap and the body-work.
The result is tire contact with the bump-out on the mud flaps.
There aren't any screws/clips in that area so my solution:
Double-sided tape provides the needed tire clearance. (I hope it holds).
The "contact patch" (could really use another screw/clip on the far left):
The bump - looking at the bottom of the flap:
The tape on the frame before reinstalling the flap:

I will make a build thread and document the progress. I am hoping the have the majority of it done on Thursday.

Sorry for the slow response.
It's not connected to the seat backs - just lies flat. I pull it out with the seats up, or just roll it up and put it behind the seats.
I wanted complete coverage to prevent water from skis getting in between the seats. The CanvasBacks still have gaps between the seats.

Sweet, thanks for the info! Worth checking out for sure.
My shop installed the ARB compressor using the ARB rocker switch, which...eh I wasn't too thrilled with how it looked or fit. So some re-wiring using an internet-purchased switch and it looks and works FAR better now:
How did you take out the stock false button next to the dash light dimmer? I read in an older post about prying it, but seems kind of tight.

You can reach behind the dash, and push on the clips holding them in, then shove the blank out.

I ended up using some gaffers take to just pull from both sides and get it to pop off the clips.

Where is this? Sacramento somewhere? Looks fun.
Oh nice! I'll look into that.. Thanks!
I was able to get the blank next to the 120v switch but couldn't get the upper one lol.
I tried to get behind there to push on the bottom clip but it was pretty tight.. Maybe I'll give it another try. Thanks!

I had to run to Tillamook for a project walk today and was hoping for snow in the Coast Range, none yet. I did get to watch the local fishermen on the Wilson River since winter runs are finally coming in! You can see them in the trees behind the truck but the zoom catches them better, one of these days I'll pony up for a DLSR camera!
