The rectangular ones go on the square cut outs on the inner fender above the upper control arms. Held in with some big staples. I've never replaced the others. They go in the inner fender (wheel side) frame contact area.

That takes care of one set of staple holes - thanks.
Anybody got any info on the odd-shaped piece? Bob Trimpe |

Yeah. My camera is on the blink or I could take a pic of it for you. It goes along the lower rear edge of the wheel house.
David says wheel side and I'm not going to argue that although mine are on the outside of the wheelhouse (cowl side). At the rear of the wheelhouse, you'll see two holes that are nearly an inch in diameter. That wedge shaped cutout is an opening for the two holes. The lower hole is located near the curved apex of the cutout. Beyond that, the shield pretty much follows the contour of the lower edge of the wheelhouse with the hole in the apex as the locator. Don't know if that's clear or not. I'm going to look through my pics. I may have one in the pile that shows it in place.

So, it fits like this ... (pic). I was waaay off on guessing this one.
How much of the flap hangs below the edge of the wheelwell? Thanks, Bob Trimpe |

NO...One mistake. What you have labeled as "inner" is actually the outer. What you've got labeled "Engine compartment" is the outer. The narrow end that you have labeled "Outer" actually terminates at the opening for the upper control arm...Which is where the square shaped splash shield takes up.
Not very much of it hangs down. Maybe 2 to 3 inches in one area, none of it at all in others. If you get that hole positioned in the cutout properly and get the narrow end in line with the edge of the control arm opening, you'll be in good shape.

Here's another pic of the same wheelhouse taken the same time from the front. You can see the splash guard at the top of the pic.
You can see that this is the driver's side wheelhouse.
