Has anyone that did not purchase with the off-road package purchase and install the rear Mercedes OEM mud flaps? I am intersted in the parts needed to purchase as well as any modifications if needed to install them. Thanks in advance MBWorld members!

 

The MB p/n's for these are:
Front - 463-889-09-00-7C45 (left side) and 463-889-10-00-7C45 (right side) ~$35/ea.
Rear - 463-889-27-00-7C45 (left side) and 463-889-28-00-7C45 (right side) ~$19/ea.
and are listed as G-compatible with MY2019+. Not sure if all installation hardware is included.
I've just ordered a full set from autohausaz.com and will post my experience with installation when completed.

 

Thanks so much for the part numbers. My G has begin production for the 2nd decade of March. I look forward to hearing how it goes with installation and any necessary parts needed if any.

 

Hello and thanks for sharing the information, as I am also in the same boat. Installation hardware for the REAR mud-flaps follows:
4 x Splash Guard Screw part no. 000000-000925

4 x Side Retainer Bolt part no. 000000-002349

Finally, attached are photos of the rear with (from a forum member, thanks!) & without mud flaps. Parts departments were hesitant to confirm fitting on a vehicle without the trail package, but I may actually order a set after learning from your installation experience. Thanks for your contributions.

 

Do you think the same screws and retainer clips for the front mudguards?

you can find a similar link under “Body” fir the front fender which shows the parts needed to mount those

 

Received the mud guard set today. The rear guards match those shown in the photos above, and holes in guards align with holes in wheel well fairing. No hardware was included, but I'm sure I can find something that will work at one of the local auto stores. The front guards and part numbers listed above (and which are listed on various websites and on autohausaz.com's website) are NOT compatible with MY2019+ G's, and are being returned.
These are MB branded mud guards, reasonable quality, sourced from Romania. I plan to install them, and will follow-up with information about fasteners. Will continue searching for compatible front guards.

 

Thank you for keeping the thread updated. I appreciate the information and your sharing the details @streborx . I look forward to possible photos of the installation. Curious if you do find a solution or part that works for the front guards.

 

Good info. My guess is they didn't prioritize the front mudguards since the running boards are present?

 

I installed the rear mud guards today on my 2019 G550. Total time was about 2 hours – 90 minutes to figure out what and how to do it, and then less than 15 minutes to install each guard.

There are 4 mounting holes in each guard that align with 4 holes in the wheel well, 2 of which have existing screws (the inner pair) and 2 unpopulated holes (the outer 2). I rolled under the back end of the truck and inspected the underside of the wheel well and found that the 2 existing screws each attach to a clip nut and secure the wheel well fairing to a support bracket. The 2 unpopulated holes have blind screw posts that require no back-side fastener.

Removing the 2 existing screws required an 8mm (or 5/16”) hex socket. Inasmuch as these screws were stamped “NA”, I’m guessing they are SAE rather than metric, and the 5/16” socket seemed the better fit. The unpopulated screw holes are compatible with ¼” dia. X ¾” long coarse thread screws (e.g., license plate screws that normally use clip nuts). Washers that are at least ½” outside diameter are a good idea also.

The contour of the mud guard made the inner existing screw (3/16” dia x 5/8” long) seem just a bit short, so I replaced it with a ¾” long screw. The attached photo shows one of the removed existing screws (center), the ¼” dia. screw for the unpopulated holes (left) and the longer screw that I used to replace the inner existing screw (right). One of the washers I used is also shown.

I hung the flap using the existing screw in the outermost location first, and once it was supported, added the 2 new screws and the replacement screw. Everything snugged up nicely, although I didn’t use a torque driver to take a measurement. Photos below show the inside and outside of the mud guard after assembly. The mud on the lower bumper and quarter panel illustrates the area that will now be protected from debris spinning off the tire.

Still hoping to find a set of front mud guards.

 

Had mine put on at the dealer today using the MB hardware. Took them like 30 mins. My G is wrapped and it makes the parking sensors overly sensitive to the point as soon as the bumper gets dirty they go off constantly. Hoping this helps.

 

I plan to upgrade to black anodized fasteners when I next visit a hardware store.

 

Just added mudflaps on tonight, thanks to streborx's post above and the others, took about 30 minutes total including planning.

Decided to add it on to protect the lower rockers and also avoid any chance I kick up a rock to a car following me on the highway. Lastly I'm planning on the trail package on the next one so figured I'd go ahead and get used to the look.

All in it was $60 from autohausAZ. Called my local dealer and they wanted $36 just for one mudflap. It's funny to me how cheap the mud flaps are for this vehicle considering everything else about it is so expensive.

 

I ordered my current G63 with the Trail Package and I will give my feedback on the option. While everyone will have a different opinion, all input is useful in making an informed decision. First off I love the 20” Trail Package wheels, they look great. I bought a set of the MB multispoke winter wheels with the Alpine 5 snow tires and I wasn’t impressed. The tread pattern on the Mercedes winter wheel package is geared more to a performance car than a seriously capable off-road vehicle. I would prefer winter tires with deeper treads. Due to the all terrain tires the truck does tend to ride a little more rough than 63s equipped with the 22” cross spoke forged. Unless you plan to off-road the vehicle the dynamic select settings really aren’t beneficial on a street driven truck. I originally ordered the package as I was told the skid plates were heavier than the standard truck. This was true in regards to the 2019 model but as of 2020 all G63s get the same skid plates regardless of having the Trail Package or not, as there were issues of the 2019 plates bending easier. Now on to the other components that make up the Trail Package, the rubber mats and mud flaps. I typically use the WeatherTech floor liners and find the mats provided with the TP to be a joke. The design of these mats would allow snow/water to pour over the edges and onto the carpet. I find they are similar to the VW Monster Mats which I found to be rather useless as well. If you live in a dry climate and will only be dealing with sand or dry earth I guess they would be ok, but if you live anywhere with snow/ice or a lot of rain they will make a mess of your carpet. This brings me to the mud flaps, these pieces go back to the first G Wagens, although they have probably been modified to fit the new wider truck. I found them to be rather flimsy and they did give the rear a rather transport truck appearance. Now if you genuinely off-road the truck they may help, but I would suspect they would likely be snapped off. By not fitting them to the front wheel openings you are creating a situation in 4wd that rocks will pelt the bottom of the running boards and potentially the rocker panels as well. All the rear flaps will do is potentially protect the bottom edge of the rear bumper from stone chipping along with preventing rocks from being fired onto the windshield of the vehicles behind. Other than the great looking 20” wheels this package to me was not worth the $2900 Canadian asking price and I will not be adding it to my next truck. Those of you who have G63s currently with the more street focused package will find the Trail Package to ride more rough. I came out of a street focused 2019, and definitely noticed a ride quality deterioration with the Trail Pack. It wasn’t a huge difference but it was noticeable none the less. Hope this mini review helps someone in making a decision, and everyone will have a different viewpoint. Just my two cents worth.

 

Thanks for the comprehensive review. I don't have the TP, but I did order the OE rubber mats and found them worthless. I retrofitted Weathertechs and sold the OEs on ebay. The mudflaps seem flimsy, but probably won't snap off or deform as readily as a rigid design might, if you back into a tall curb or parking stop. Does the TP include front mudflaps? As I noted in my post above, the MB p/n doesn't fit 2019+ bodies. If you can find a MB p/n embossed on yours, please post it, as I still want to add them.

 

BTW, does the TP come with a true full size spare tire -- that is, a tire that matches the 4 mounted tires? Easiest way to check is to look at the tire spec sticker pasted on the drivers side door frame that lists front, rear and spare tire sizes and inflating pressures.

 

No, the TP does not include front mud flaps which I found to be rather odd. While the rears might protect the bottom of the rear bumper, by not having fronts the bottom of the running boards and rockers are exposed to stone damage. The spare wheel to the best of my memory is not the TP wheel, it’s the multispoke design. I’m not sure about whether the tire matches the rest or not. I currently have the truck in storage but will check it out and update the beginning of this week.

 

Thanks for the feedback on the TP. That's too bad it's not the TP wheel for the spare - especially since they are both 20".

 

Anyone know if the mudflaps fit on a 21 G550? Thanks

 

See my post above dated 3-11-21. The rear mud flaps will fit - the front not.

 

Thank you!! I’ll order the rear mudflaps.

Took some pictures today with the new mud flaps on. Car was detailed last week-it's not usually this clean.

 

Got a chance to check out my spare wheel with the TP. Wheel is definitely multispoke 20” and tire is a Continental, so no TP wheel and AT tire as spare.

 

Check the sticker on the driver side door frame - I'm guessing the Continental is spec'd as a 265/50R20.
