Hi Everyone. A quick update to this somewhat rather ancient thread…..

 

Recently some members have contacted me to let me know that some of the links to PDF Guides that I did some time ago for the Škoda (Technical) Guides section have stopped working! It would appear that Google Sites, where the original guides were saved for viewing online, last year changed the way it operates, and that some of the links to the PDF guides are no longer operative. It’s all a bit haphazard as about 50% still work, but the remainder don’t. So if this has caused you any inconvenience I do sincerely apologise.

 

 I think the best way forward for these to be re-enabled for viewing is to upload the relevant files directly to this Briskoda thread, where I am sure they will be safe for future reference. So here, attached to this post, are the two PDF Guides that this thread refers to. Should you come across any others (of mine) please let me know and I will do my best to update them.

Hope this helps………..Stay safe & happy motoring………Tony

update

Be aware that the original rear mudflaps, part no. 57A075101 do not fit the facelifted Karoq (discovered after half hour of head scratching and thinking this should be easier than it was proving to be). The edge of the bumper is thicker and doesn't fit properly into the recess in the moulded mud flap, and the hole for the lower torx screw has moved about half inch!

 

Part no. 57A075101A (note the A at the end) is for the rear mudflaps for the facelifted Karoq, from Sept 2022 onwards.

Good Information / update there Simon! 👍 

Well done for updating my old posting...Many Thanks.....Tony

I’ve been pondering fitting mud flaps since before I got the car but after today I think the decision has been made 😆

 

So am I right in thinking the front mud flaps are a universal fit for all years/iterations of the Karoq? (The version for vehicles without the arch trim #57A075111A)

 

I know I need Part no. 57A075101A for the rear as I have a 23 MY SportLine.

So the mud flaps arrived today and I’m quite surprised at how rigid they are compared to other mud flaps I’ve fitted to previous cars which gives rise to the only reservation I have about fitting them. 
I’m wondering if over time they’re going to rub/damage the paintwork; has anyone else got any long term experience of this style of mud flap?

 

 

 

Just like to say 'thanks' to everyone who has posted hints and tips. I've just fitted front and rear mudflaps. Both backs only took 30 minutes, I lubricated the centre pin of the expanding rivet with silicon grease it makes all the difference. I did remove the front wheels just to give my self room to drill the holes, as I didn't want to risk the drill wandering of course. I slid a plastic trim removal tool in behind the upper rivet hole to brace the wheelarch liner when pushing the rivet centre pin in.

 

I concur with comment that 'the mudflaps really suit the Karoq' .

Many years ago I had a Subaru Impreza and thought they could do with mudflaps but wanted a more ‘rally look’ in keeping with the nature of the beast. At that time a forum member mentioned that they’d got hold of some rubber-style cutting boards out of IKEA which being fairly thin were flexible and I had my local garage cut them to shape and securely fit them. They were about 10in wide and I was able to cut them to a decent length. Job done for about £5 plus fitting 👍

I added them to mine back in November 2020 (soon after getting my Karoq) and can report that they're still firmly mounted and there's no sign of any damage to the body or paintwork. 

 

They're more fashion accessories than the long flappy off-road style, but look good on the car (IMO) and seem to keep the car a bit cleaner.

I still haven’t got around to fitting them and have now decided not to after much deliberation so they’ll be appearing for sale in the classifieds at some point in the near future 👍

 

 

Very easy to fit; just a pity you cannot fit front ones with the side steps (OEM as aftermarket)!
