Default Splash guard installation

The engine bay splash guards was totally gone on my car:



I got a new set but got a little confused about how to install them.

The 'flap' part of the dust shield gets tucked around the edge of the a-arm just as you did in your picture. The 2 notches cut in the dust shield are in just the right place in your picture.
