How to Install Mudguards on a Toyota Yaris

This video demonstrates how to install mudguards on the latest Toyota Yaris. Unlike the video, we provide European references for sourcing the parts, such as item B0C2K2FM8R on Amazon, which costs £39.99 including delivery.

The YouTuber's reasoning is valid: mudguards will prevent damage to the bodywork and excessive dirt accumulation underneath the vehicle. For installation, first, turn the wheels fully inward to create as much space as possible.

Clean the bodywork in the wheel arch and align the mudguard holes with two small plastic clips that can be removed, and on the other side with a type of plastic cap that can also be removed. Lift the wheel arch and place the metal clips provided with the mudguard behind the holes, which will provide greater stability for the screws you will insert, ensuring a better hold.

On the other side, use the clip provided with the mudguard and place it accordingly. At the rear, you cannot turn the wheels, so it will be a bit less convenient to fit the piece.

You can remove the wheel, but the simplest method (although it seems the most complicated) is to remove the wheel well panel, which is small and detaches from the bumper; besides, there are no holes here, and we need to make them, so it should be removed anyway.

Remove the plastic clips corresponding to the bumper.

On the passenger side, there is a different screw that fortunately can be unscrewed by hand. Underneath the car, there are three more screws to remove.

Before removing the piece, mark with a pencil where the holes will be made. At this point, it will be easy to drill the holes, and with a bit of patience, you can also fit the mudguard at the rear, following the instructions you adhered to for the front.
