Called dodge and they said they would not cover since I put them on. From the posts I guess I am not the only one. I wish I just got the flat rubber ones instead. I think I will use 3m tape on the edge to keep them in place. I might use the rubberized undercoating to cover scratch and keep from getting worse. Definitely not using the drive through car washes anymore.

I had an 04 F150 and it was the WORST PAINT EVER. Started bubbling after 7,000 miles, uneven application around the fenders (from the factory), etc.
Well, yeah, I can't say Ford hasn't had their share of paint issues in the past.

I've had mine on for 2 years. Don't see any rubbing, but I'm not going to bend my mudflaps out of the way to see if it's there. If I can't see it under normal circumstances, it's not a problem. Kind of like worrying about the looks of a rusty driveshaft IMO.

I just took my front ones off to see if I had any damage and to my suprise, my dealer ran a bead if clear silicon between the mudflap and paint as well as in the drilled holes. Paint looks excelent.
I guess all dealers are not created equal.
