Mud Flap mounting more challenging?
I went to specify a set of mud flaps for my soon to be delivered Platinum and the dealership is saying that the brackets are different and also the material required for mounting them to prevent corrosion. They used to just drive stainless steel hardware into the body and send the truck on it's way but now it's got to be specific hardware. They didn't mention what it was just that they don't have it yet. I do know that dissimilar metals will corrode very quickly in some cases.
Is anybody up on the proper procedures and type of hardware for installing against the military grade aluminum body panels?

They are just flogging their old stock to be honest, no changes on the flaps just the mounting hardware. Didn't even get to price as the hardware wasn't available yet. I'll probably end up taking delivery with nothing and figuring it out later when things clarify and new logos come out. Not going to put an 09-14 style logo on with the awesome new '15 logo changed over.

FL3Z16A550CA front
FL3Z16A550DA rear
The rears have the Ford logo.. Includes mounting hardware. Body is predrilled for holes.
A Ford dealer in northern Ohio has them listed on Ebay with pictures/descriptions. Don't look like they mount any different.
Ordered mine today locally.
