It looks like a hollowed out recess in the back of the mudflap to clear the running board in the stored position.
Also, I would prefer the top of the mudflap to be more "faired in" to the front wheel well. While functional, this design juts out 2 inches from the fender and just doesn't look right to my eye. At least put a decent 1 inch radius on the top of the flap extension.
It also looks like 1/4 of the tire tread (inside) is still exposed to the running board. That means lots of opportunity for mud, gravel, horse apples, etc. to get flung up on your stored running boards. Yuck.

Got these from Autozone. Just put the backs on to see if they fit good. I am buying the fronts to match. You do have to drill for these but the fit nice and flush.
Sorry about the bad photos. Had to lighten them up.

I have the weathertechs on my 2010 Lariat but I can't make this site host a picture, they must be too large.
Anyway, I think the weathertechs look great, they follow the contour of the fender flares and l'm happy with them.

If this is the one your are referring to
It looks like a hollowed out recess in the back of the mudflap to clear the running board in the stored position.
Also, I would prefer the top of the mudflap to be more "faired in" to the front wheel well. While functional, this design juts out 2 inches from the fender and just doesn't look right to my eye. At least put a decent 1 inch radius on the top of the flap extension.
It also looks like 1/4 of the tire tread (inside) is still exposed to the running board. That means lots of opportunity for mud, gravel, horse apples, etc. to get flung up on your stored running boards. Yuck.

Good to know. I ordered a Platinum and will need flaps on it too. Hope you figure this out soon!
