Mud flaps?

My last set on WeatherTech mud flaps went 45000 miles on my 09 Lariat and they never moved even driving through snow and slush on the roads. The system they use to secure the flaps is very well thought out. You do help secure them with nut and bolts that you use in the holes that a plastic rivet was that you easily remove. On the WeatherTech website they have good videos showing how all this works.
The dura flaps look intriguing though, they look like they have a lot more coverage. Decisions decisions...I think they cost more though then weathertech if I remember it right
Do the dura flaps have similar installation on the no drills?

I just finished installing my weather tech mud flaps today, both the front and back. I must say, it was kind of a pain (for me anyway) to remove the plastic screws. Other than that, they bolt on no problem and seem very secure.

Do they just pop off? Flathead will work I'm guessing?

Thanks! Just got them shipped, won't have time to install until Saturday though. Going to do it at my gf's house since I don't have any socket wrenches

Finally got to install the weathertechs and it really couldn't be any simpler. With the help of my inlaws tools I finally got it done.
One possible issue though is I took it out for a quick drive to pick some dinner up, and noticed an almost whistle kind of sound coming from somewhere in the front? Strange part was I didn't hear it on the way back...and the problem was present when accelerating. Unsure if something was going on with the flaps or if it's the truck itself. After I got to my destination I did move the flaps around a little to see if it was the cause and like I said on the way back it sounded fine. Weird...
