Front inner wheel well issues

[REV745DH24]

Went ahead an ordered mud flaps. Amazon tells me they are compatible with the Mustang. If anything, I can return if they don't cover the hole. The difference between these and the others is that they cover more space on the top. All others are more skinny, and leave the holes in question exposed. Will see if they can be fitted properly and have them installed next week hopefully.

Let me know how that turns out for you, I would be interested in one if it does well for you! Rock on! I’ll switch on the “Watch this thread!” Thanks!

I just notice you are from VT, was it Heritage by chance?

Yes

Pestering is a good thing, they will pass it along.

have you seen the video I posted on what I did to fix it?

I saw 1/2 of it, I'll definitely finish it before I put anymore miles on it, I just picked it up Saturday and am waiting for my all seasons to be installed, maybe I'll look at it before i put them on.

I’ve posted to my Chanel a total of three videos about this, the one shows the issue, the second shows the damage when I removed the inner fender well and the third was the fiberglass infill.
Heritage has two of the videos, both were forwarded to their rep.

Heritage definitely acknowledges and recognizes there is an issue.

I will also contact them and look at the videos.

So the flaps are a good fit, but they do not cover the hole underneath, as you can see. I honestly don't see the point of putting these on, as they would not cover the hole underneath, where all the salt/gravel can still enter the wheel well lining area.

The fiberglass I used worked well and then I molded a piece of Kydex over that. The Kydex is Super easy to do if you have the wheel well out. You could do it in place with the wheel off but attaching it is a different matter

Looks mint.

Well I recently ordered a new 2024 EB Mustang and now I figured it was time to take a closer look at this wheel well issue:(
It's a New Year and I believe Job 2 for the MY24 Mustang so maybe Ford has fixed this issue - when can dream I guess.

Is this something worth holding on on buying a 24 Mustang at this point or do most folks think this issue gets resolved one way or the other - either Ford steps up or maybe an aftermarket fix comes outs. I guess in the meantime if this issue isn't fix by the time my car comes in there's always duct tape...

Also has anyone here with a MY24 EB confirmed that these holes do indeed exist on the EB as well as the GT's and DH's? I don't see why they wouldn't but figured I would ask. I'll bring up the issue with the Ford dealer I ordered EB from and see what they say. They are the biggest Ford Dealer in the world and it's in Metro Detroit where the roads are complete crap and we can our fair share of snow so maybe other's have complained to the dealer.

@Ford Motor Company, this needs an answer asap. I'm in michigan and will be driving this car during winter. Issuing a fix on this will certainly be cheaper than the alternative.

FYI I sent you a private message

According to EcoBoost owners that have messaged me regarding the video I posted, yes they have the holes too

Bummer but not unexpected. So nothing new to report on this issue? I just ordered an EB so I'm hoping either Ford or an aftermarket fix comes out soon for this issue.

I am taking my car to a mechanic this Saturday. I bought a floor mat, and the plan is to cut out patches out of that material, and use metal rivets. I'll post pictures if it works out.
