BASENOR Mud Flaps for Tesla Model Y

BASENOR Mud Flaps Review

Tesla vehicles don't come with mud flaps from the factory, which means the paint behind each wheel takes a beating from rocks, gravel, and road debris. BASENOR mud flaps are a simple, reversible fix that can save hundreds in paint repair costs.

Paint Protection

Rock chips behind the wheels are one of the most common cosmetic issues on Teslas. Every time you drive on gravel, construction zones, or salted winter roads, your tires kick debris directly at the paint behind each wheel arch. Over time, this creates a stippled pattern of tiny chips that grows worse and becomes expensive to fix. Mud flaps intercept this debris before it hits the paint.

Material and Flexibility

The PP plastic is flexible enough to survive speed bumps, curbs, and steep driveway transitions without cracking or breaking off. In winter, the material stays pliable rather than becoming brittle. The matte black finish blends reasonably well with the Model Y's wheel arches, though the look is functional rather than stylish.

Installation

These use existing factory screw holes in the wheel liners — no drilling required, which means the installation is completely reversible with no permanent modification. Remove the existing screws from the wheel liner, position the mud flap, and replace the screws through the flap. A basic Phillips screwdriver and about 20 minutes covers all four wheels.

Who Should Buy These

Any Model Y owner who drives on gravel, unpaved roads, construction zones, or in areas with winter salt. Also recommended for anyone who parks in gravel lots regularly. At $30-45 for a full set, the cost is trivial compared to paint correction or touch-up work.
