Default WeatherTech Mud Flaps

I've completed a search and read other's post regarding Mud Flaps. For those who have purchased the WeatherTech product are there any long term regrets? I have retractable running boards also and was curious if they interfere at all? I just wanted some reassurance on this brand. I have always been pleased with their products. Thanks for any feedback!

I've researched mudflaps by watching YouTube and noticed that in the comments some people complained that they don't stay on good in heavy snow. I'd probably go OEM or Husky.

The local truck/trailer accessory shop where I got my mud flaps said they have had more returns on the Weathertech ones over the Husky's. I also preferred the look of the Husky better so I went that route. I'm happy with them.

I don't have snow luckily but that's good to know. I'm slightly concerned about the mounting of the OEM. I'm not particularly fiend of the logo on them either.

Go Husky, come with paint protector also. Very good product.

I have them and like them. they look good. If you are going to get wheel well liners put them on first. makes it easier.

Do you have retractable running boards. Any installed pictures? WeatherTech doesn't have very good pictures available on a F150. Thanks!

I had the Husky's and, without the optional drilling and screwing, I thought the front flaps seemed pretty flimsy in their attachment to the truck; they are held on primarily with doublestick tape and spring clips. I was planning to drill mine and screw them into the fender, but before I could, I hit a deer, lost one of the flaps in the wreckage, and the body shop that fixed my truck replaced both with OEM Ford flaps. I don't like the look of the Ford flaps as well, but the are very sturdy. I don't worry about them falling off if I drive through a pile of snow.

The Husky flaps on the rear seem more sturdy, but those are screwed on per instructions.

Do the OEM look easy to install? Online information is lacking details.
