Hi all. I just wondered if anyone here had a Fabia IV hatch and had had mud flaps fitted by a dealership (or fitted them yourself). If so, could you kindly tell me if the rear mud flaps have the uppermost hole filled with a screw (or trim button). My dealership has fitted mud flaps but on the rear they are only fixed with two screws, leaving the third an open hole, which doesn't look right to me. I can't find a copy of the fitting instructions online, so if anyone was willing to tell me how theirs are fixed, I'd be very grateful. Thanks in advance.

I have not fitted this Fabia with mudflaps but I did fit them to the estate version (Kombi) and all my other Skoda.

I remember the genuine Skoda Flaps fitted where the wheel arch liner screws were already fitted and the flap

screws had to be longer to take the extra thickness of the flap. This was the same ,back and front.

The Skoda part number for a Fabia Mk 4's rear mud-flaps appears to be 6VE075101 and this ebay advert refers

I've copied below the fitting instructions pictures provided on the advert. The quality ain't great, but the pictures do suggest that (as one might expect) the uppermost hole in the mud-flap should have a fixing screw in it.

Besides the two mud-flaps, the 6VE075101 'kit' includes two clips and two 'fixings'. It appears from the instructions that (for each mud-flap) the car's original two screws are used in the flap's uppermost and next-downwards holes, while the two extra 'fixings' in the kit are used with the clips that attach to the top of the flap's lower section.

'Genuine' Skoda mud-flaps are designed so that no extra drilling of the car's bodywork is required. Consequently, directly beneath the (empty) uppermost hole in your Fabia's rear mud-flaps, there ought to be a matching fixing screw (or a hole!!!) in the car's wheel-arch.

@DerekU Thank you so much for taking the time to look this up, I am really grateful. I will go and chat with my dealer to see if it can be put right. Thanks again.

This photo shows what the Fabia Mk 4 rear mud-flaps 6VE075101 'kit' is said to consist of.

It's possible (as gumdrop mentioned earlier) that the existing wheel-arch screws may not be long enough when mud-flaps are to be fitted and that's why the kit contains the 4 extra screws I've marked. The two clips & screws are also shown and I believe these go on the flaps' 'extensions' (green arrowed) and attach the flap to the wheel-arch liner.

It's regularly stated that fitting the mud-flaps is a 15-minutes task, so (presumably) the installation instructions are adequate... 😉

Fitted front and rear mud flaps to my fabia mk4 today. Rear wheels have to be removed for access and you do need to drill a 6.5mm hole for the innermost fastening point for the flap. Was a little anxious over drilling but only goes through the plastic wheel arch cover so no problem. Front flaps also require hole drilled for innermost fastener but again only going through wheel arch cover. Front wheels don’t need removing as can get access by moving to full lock but will need a right angle chuck attachment for drill if wheels still on vehicle. Ordered parts from Škoda parts in Czech Republic and cost saving compared to UK was amazing even including delivery by fed ex
