Default Mud flaps/guards

Has anyone installed them before?
I couldn't find instructions online before I buy them.

What is involved? Wheel stays on? Adhesive?

Does it prevent stone chips on the side of the car?

They save you from stones (Most of the time)

Easy to install.
Good luck finding the primer. I looked at several auto parts stores with no luck.

I have been googling rock chips on the doors and rear wheel fender. Actually wasn't able to find a picture. Can anyone point out where do this occur as I am going to be talking to a clear bra installer.
I think it looks better than the mud flaps and it is a little better protection anyway

It seems they made the side sill a little bigger so maybe the problem is not as pronounced on the newer models?

I got another question..
how do you remove the 3 original clips that are holding the liner in place? Do you press down the middle or something else?

Pull on the center piece with a small flat blade and pop it out maybe a 1/4 in. or completely if you wish, them pull out the bottom part.

The bottom part is hollow and split and the center part is a pin that spread this piece and lock it in place.
