Looking at getting mud guards for the Z71. I've seen pics of the WeatherTech ones installed and they look really square. I'm thinking the Husky ones are more round at the bottom based off of pics on their website. Does anyone have pics of the Husky ones installed?

IMO, I would not buy anything from WeatherTech because of threads I have seen and my personal experience with them when I called about their "laser technology" floor mats that end up curling at the edges. Got the run around and talked AROUND the problem with basically no help. I call it "Customer No Service".

I have the Husky floor mats and have for years and like them, so I would not hesitate to buy their mud flaps. Again, IMO.

I have had the Husky's on mine for a years work great, same with the floor liners, the weathertech floor liners curled on me, ended up throwing them in the garbage, they may have fixed that issue by now though.

I have the Husky mud flaps on my 2012 front and rear. They are a bit rounded in the corners, but your model year may be different.

As soon as the weather tech said they had ones that worked with power boards, I bought them. They look very good, they are substantial, and they were a good buy. Very happy.
I don’t care how they look, I care about how they cover and these cover well.

I have weather tech flaps, but I bought before I decided their mats were junk. Bought husky mats, then traded and the next one already had husky’s, but someone had not treated them well and they curled. Husky replaced them and it wasn’t a bad experience to do so.
Good Husky
Bad weather tech

I have WeatherTech mud flaps and they work perfectly. And they're designed so you don't have to drill any holes in your ride to attach them. Their mounting holes are right in line with the holes that are already there. They are solid and don't bend or warp. I don't have any problem with them and I would buy them again...if I had another ride.

No GM Accessory mud guards? When I was looking for mine, I found one brand too short and another too long and the GM were just right...

I looked at GM when I bought mine, I think when I was building it on the GM site, it only showed flaps with bow ties. I went with weathertech. The install was easy and they are on solid. Like them, only down side was they are all produced for automatic steps. My z71 has fixed steps but I really never notice the indent on the front flap. They are on solid as they day they were installed (which was solid).

Not apt yet, but on the 15+ Tahoes/Yukons/Suburbans Red Hound makes some very nice flaps. I am impressed with the fit and quality. Hopefully they will add the 21+ soon.

You just bought the wrong ones, they are all not like this.

In 2019 they did not have the version for fixed steps yet. Went to the factory store in Illinois because I couldn't believe they didn't exist. Glad to see thy fixed the hole in their lineup.

Makes sense. This is the 2021+ forum so I just figured that is what we are discussing.

i'm sure it's going to boil down to price on the mud flaps both brands are good in that department, as far as having to drill or not it's plastic you are drilling and literally takes less than a second. no big deal, my opinion is you want the extra support anyway.

With the Weathertech you use the holes that are already there. Why drill when you can use whats already there?
