Toyota OEM Splash Guards

Splash guards are an important part of your vehicle’s protection system. They help prevent water, mud, rocks, and debris from damaging your vehicle’s paint and undercarriage. Over time, splash guards can wear out or become damaged due to exposure to harsh weather conditions and road debris. At Brantford Toyota, we recommend using genuine Toyota splash guards for the best protection and durability for your vehicle.

What Do Splash Guards Do?

Splash guards, also known as mud flaps, protect the lower parts of your vehicle from dirt, water, and debris that can be thrown up by the tires. They help reduce the risk of damage to the paint and trim while keeping the undercarriage clean. Additionally, splash guards help prevent corrosion caused by road salt and other contaminants. Installing splash guards on your vehicle can improve its longevity and appearance.

Why Do Splash Guards Break Down?

Splash guards can wear down or break due to regular exposure to the elements. Extreme weather, like heavy rain, snow, and ice, can weaken the material over time. They can also crack or tear from road debris, especially if they’re not made from durable materials. If you notice any cracks, holes, or detachment, it's time to replace them to ensure full protection.

Genuine Toyota vs. Aftermarket Splash Guards

While aftermarket splash guards may be cheaper, genuine Toyota splash guards are designed to fit your vehicle perfectly and provide superior protection. Models like the RAV4 and Tundra rely on Toyota parts for optimal performance and durability. Aftermarket options may not last as long or offer the same level of protection.
