So did ours and it still gets dirty under the doors.Mine came with front & rears from the factory.
Mudguards are a $130 factory option in the US, about twice as much as they cost to install yourself in about 15-20 minutes max if you have the right angle tool to install the rears without removing the wheels. I bought my own and installed them on my 2006, 2015 and the Hybrid, easy peasy.![]()

Doesn't the eBay listing say it comes with the tools to mount them?
If not, do you happen to have a link or exact description of the right angle tool?
I thought I had negotiated all the options I really wanted but forgot about mudguards.
Thanks, that looks really handy! It's now on my wish list.Everybody should have one of these for working in close quarters. Its a 1/4" drive on one side and a bit driver on the other side.
I got mine from him for $60. The look and fit is perfect.I made an offer for 55 hope he approves lol

No need to remove wheel. Use of stubby driver and 8mm, 10mm socket drive are fine for the job. You need to tap a new hole for the rear set. Existing and supplied screws are different and do go to a specific location.Can u give me a heads up on what's tools I need
I tend to agree with you. The mudguard does not do much guard to the car when it is in snow and rain. To me, I just simply treat as a cosmetic item although sometime I feel good that car behind me might get less chance to get stone chip to their windshield from my rear wheel. At least that is how I would look at other car in front of me - a friendly vehicle on the road. I don't put mudguard on my sport sedan which is lower profile than the SUV.My RAV4 has them from the dealership. My wife's doesn't. As far as I can tell, there's no practical difference between having them and not. Both cars get equally dirty in the snow or rain.
Its a given that in really wet or sloppy driving they don't do much. But they do a lot when you're just hitting the occasional mud puddle or the like. That's why they call them "splash guards".My RAV4 has them from the dealership. My wife's doesn't. As far as I can tell, there's no practical difference between having them and not.
