Check to see if all the clips are pushed all the way onto the tabs.

I have the C7 ZO6 side aero pieces. The factory splash guards do not line up nicely. I am waiting for a modified splash guard built to look nice where they meet the side pieces.

Splash guards and Cleartastic are two different things.

I was about to order the splash guards. In a picture of them, it seems the tab that the screw goes into, points down. Does that tab need to get bent to install or am I just looking at the picture wrong. Thanks

Here is a PDF of my install. No bending anything! It does show that the bottom tabs in front and back insert differently, one is inside and the other outside of the body, don't know why they are different.
