Rally Armor Mud Flaps snow issue? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hey I was wondering here in new york we get a lot of snow, If you have the rally armor flaps does that create more snow getting stuck inside the car behind the wheels?

They are Polly U. They are flexible. It doesn't trap anything just keeps it from spraying upwards.

Agree. I put them on my BRZ a few weeks ago just before the big storm hit here in NJ. I inspected them recently to see how they're holding up. I didn't notice any issues. Next time I wash my car I'm going to see if anything needs to be tightened. Overall I think they were a smart purchase.

oh so you guys agree that these don't build up more snow inside?

Yes. I do not think there is any additional accumulation of snow due to the mud flaps. I don't see anywhere it could collect.

I drove from Sante Fe to Taos, NM in the snow awhile back with rally armor mud flaps and had no issues. Glad i had them. As complared to before, i don't have those rooster tail marks on the side of my car anymore. And there didn't appear to any extra snow, slush, or whatever up behind the wheels.

Uh yes they do collect snow in the fenders wells, I have had to take a screw driver and ice pick out my fenders before I could leave for work a couple of times on all four fender wells with rally armor flaps. I'll post a pic when I can.

This was the mild snow collection, it was worse the week before this. Notice snow gathered on both sides of the fender well.
(ps all that salt on my car was very depressing.)
