Subaru Splash Guards

A DIY Guide to Installing New Splash Guards

Installing splash guards is one of the simplest ways to protect your vehicle’s paint and bodywork from road debris. For Outback owners, replacing worn or missing mud guards helps prevent corrosion, especially in areas with gravel roads or snowy conditions. While you're at it, consider pairing them with a quality car cover to extend exterior protection even further.

Replacing the Mud Guards in Your Subaru Outback

1. Gather the Right Tools

You’ll typically need a screwdriver, trim tool, and the included fasteners for installation.

2. Park on a Level Surface

Make sure your vehicle is on flat ground with the parking brake engaged before starting.

3. Turn the Front Wheels Inward

This allows better access to the wheel well area for front splash guard installation.

4. Remove Old Fasteners

Use a trim tool or screwdriver to detach any clips or screws holding the original guards.

5. Line Up the New Splash Guards

Match the new guard holes with existing mount points on the fender or bumper.

6. Secure with Included Hardware

Attach the new guards using factory-approved screws or clips, tightening just enough to hold firmly.

7. Repeat for Rear Wheels

Follow the same steps for the rear wheel wells, ensuring consistent protection all around.
