Hey - You people with mud flaps on your E class...

One of the back ones came off (in the driveway thankfully) and I can't get those little clips to snap in place so I can put the screws back in. Is there a special tool or trick?

The clips will hold the mud flaps for a while, but as they lose grip the mudflaps will eventually fall. Did happen to my E 320 T.

It is not recommeded to use any type of screw on them as they can increase the risk of corrosion.

At least here, Mercedes-Benz sells the clips as a separate part (without the need to buy the new mudflap itself).
