Not sure if flipping the splash shield around would cover these tie down points or not.
Anyone install their inner fenders yet with the shields flipped the other way???

Now THAT makes sense as to why that slot would be there. Mine have been installed for years the other way and frankly, I NEVER look at them...I'll look today though...If I can remember it.
If mine are blocking that slot, I would relent and say that they SHOULD be installed the way everyone else's to be installed. As for mine, I never removed them.
