They will fit dude. I'm not sure how to tell you, but you do have to force them up on the edge in the fender liner when you line up the hole. Forget trying to line up the flap contours to the body contours(like in your picture), and concentrate on lining up the hole on the flap to the OE hole(And forget about the "GLC" not being in the pictures. You got lucky ). Once it pops on, you will know it. And I recall, it popped in so nice, that they sat in place without putting the push pins and screw in. It got me at first too, but after forcing it slightly, fit like you see in the pictures. They are pretty flexible, so it should be easy once you try to line up the holes. If you still can't get them, I suggest taking them to a mechanic. Good luck!
Heard from the chinese vendor and he assured me he will check and advise me concerning the discrepancy with the rear mudflaps. Just for clarity my vehicle is a 2019 x253 and the contour of my rear is a perfect match for the contour of the rear mudflaps this vendor shows in his listing. Generally Ebay requires vendors to ship what they show in their listing so I am pretty sure I will get the rear flaps shown in the listing or get refunded for the discrepancy.
That picture shows exactly what I am talking about. You almost got it on man! Push that corner in until that hole lines up with that screw. Yes the flap will flex a bit, but that's how they fit against the trim like a glove. Trust me, it will go, and "pop/slide" in and on that ledge and the hole will line up pretty much dead on. That lip on the mudflap will settle inside that lip on the fender liner you are leaning it against. Look at the below picture again carefully with your rear passenger flap in your hand. Exact same flaps man, I promise. I circled the two screws and where they go, your just not fitting them properly. Push that sheeet on like a boss! I hate to see you struggle, and it's not really the "Chinese vendors" fault. Three minutes in the garage and I'd have you on your way man. Stop by
Here are a couple more shots of my rear, before I had realized I had gotten the wrong rears I did try to force them to conform, I had them laying in the sun so they were warm and pliable. When pushed as hard as my I could it still did not come close to fitting my rear`s contour and the bottom of the mudflap was at a 45 degree angle to the ground every time this push to conform was tried. That was when I referenced the vendor`s pictures to see I was not sent what I had ordered.
Well the Chinese vendor from ebay finally came thru and sent me the correct rear mudflaps for my vehicle, I held one up to the rear quarter and it fits like a glove with no pushing or pressure required. Hopefully I will get them put on this weekend and will post pics when I do.
Well I got a free hour sooner than expected and got these mounted. They fit perfectly and were not very hard to install. First pic is the two rear flaps, mine is the top one, the lower flap did not fit.

Thanks, for the top hole in the mudflap you can either use an appropriate sized self tapping screw or drill a hole and use the slip-on captive nut and screw provided. Either way what you are making a hole in is the black plastic quarter panel piece not the metal of the body.
Hey quick question for those of you that have mud flaps, either MB OEM or aftermarket - especially the molding plastic kind. Do you have any problems with scraping them when driving over speed bumps and things like that? This is my first SUV and I'm considering mud flaps but it got me thinking about whether lowering those areas behind the wheels may cause additional areas that could scrape. Thanks!

This is my GLC 43 with the rear lowering links adjusted as short as possible, and the button in the cargo area that lowers it another inch or so for easy loading pushed. I would say lowered 4-6" total in this picture, with 2" of the rear tires(295/40/18) tucked in the fender, and that is as close to the ground as I can get them. I obviously didn't leave it this low, but I've never rubbed them on anything, or even came close while driving. It's lowered maybe an inch or two from OE all the time.

No I have never scraped my mudflaps on anything in the year that I have had them on the vehicle, I really don`t think that you could scrape them too easily in normal driving conditions.

Hi,
I like how the rear flap has the GLC word on it. It looks OEM for a not OEM accessory, Can you send me link of the ebay seller that sells it? Thanks.
Installed the aftermarket mud flap.The back ones are quite loose as there is only one push pin to secure to the liner and bolt to screw under the bumper. I fear that if it will knock it loose if I backup to a parking curve. Anyone has the same feeling / experience? Instead of drilling a hole to the moulding to match the pre-drilled hole on the mud flap, I just use some double-sided tape to secure it further on both the front and back flap.
I have a 2022 coupe with AMG trim; the "GLC" rears didn't fit, and I got the vendor to send another set of (different) rears; there was no "GLC" on the flaps in his eBay listing, and I don't want "GLC" on mine. The replacements seem to dry-fit well, and when I install I'm hoping to copy this C300 video and not make any additional holes. I wish I had been sent a bunch of those push-pins instead of the self-tapping screws they did provide. Think I can buy some at any auto parts store??
I assume we are all dealing with eBay seller carpart777; even my local body shop is familiar with them. carpart777 and I went back and forth with messages trying to determine the right mud flaps for my 2022 GLC Coupe with AMG trim and no running boards. The first set he sent had "GLC" on the rears (which was not in his eBay photo and and I do not like) and they did not fit:
He was pretty quick to send out a second set of rears but they don't fit either:
My photos may be inadequate as they do not show the clip locations but the second set are actually installed with two clips and the 10mm screw from below. carpart777 is checking with his supplier for a third set. Just thought I'd see if @4npower@linus69@Rmlasalle have any insight for me....
