I'm really happy with my Ford ones, $89 for all four.
Can you show these are mounted did you have to modify them? Would they fit NON SAS?I'm really happy with my Ford ones, $89 for all four.

It's also about what bumpers you have too. If you have the steel rear bumper, the Ford flaps do not work in the rear at all. Fronts will work if you trim them as far as I know.
If you actually have a BL, then the fronts would work if you trim them, but the rears would not.
They have to be trimmed and I added a bracket. They are not soft or hard. Sort of in between.
Been feeling the same way about these. Did you cancel through email? I’m not really finding any option for cancelling.

Weird how two people can have such different experiences with the same products....
I've personally had 4 vehicles with them, and installed them on 3 other vehicles belonging to friends/family. The oldest set is on my moms '13 F150 and have been on their 2014 I think and they still look good.
They survived my RZR Turbo, my low to the ground cars, offroading and Alaskan winters...everything myself and others have thrown at them.
I could understand someone complaining about price or fit or appearance, but do not understand how anyone could complain about the durability of them.
I had Gatorbacks and swapped to Rokblokz. Gatorbacks are more sturdy, but only half quick disconnect. Rokblokz are less sturdy but can be fully removed for rock crawling.
Pick the one that fits your use case best, you will be making a compromise in either product.
As far as the wiggle in Rokblokz, I have it too on my SAS Badlands but not uninstalling it over it. To me it can't be heard or noticed while driving. If it really bothers you the support email is right it's the threaded clip on the mount that has movement, it's not your thumbscrew. If it bothered me I would just JB weld the threaded clip so it doesn't move.
Rokblokz if you are listening, why not weld a nut to the backside of the mounting bracket for the thumb screw and skip the whole threaded clip idea?
*EDIT - This is with the yellow zinc plated clips, expect this much play as normal.

That wiggle doesn't seem bad at all, I'll stick with mine arriving tomorrow. Who knows when my Bronco will arrive....I had Gatorbacks and swapped to Rokblokz. Gatorbacks are more sturdy, but only half quick disconnect. Rokblokz are less sturdy but can be fully removed for rock crawling.

Mine get here tomorrow as well, they look great to me. I would rather keep my home made mudflaps I have on now or just flat out have rock chips than to put those Gatorbacks on.

I hope you know those who ordered these things and don't have a bronco yet I'm holding directly accountable for my future rock chips.

Agree with this. Seems like a better design - one that creates a more secure mount and takes out that bit of wiggle - is in order. Hopefully, Rokblokz can come up with a retrofit fix for those who already received them.
I tried that and ended up with 2 kids
Reading about people spending $200 or $300 or whatever god amount on mud flaps will never cease to amaze me. I'm more than happy to go down to NAPA and buy some cheap rubbers!

Well I am not the only one then.
I am definitely trying to work with them. I wrote to them on Friday with the video and explanations. They replied on Monday that the only thing they could think off was tightening the hand screw more. I immediately tried that and other ideas and I replied to them the same day with new videos and comments and asked for next steps. So far they haven’t replied back.FWIW They are reading this and are offering up solutions. If I wasn't looking down the barrell of customs charges I'd certainly try and work with em.
I also noticed the hand screw are too long and are piercing inside the wheel well.
Indeed it’s the clip, it shows well in my second video. I do agree your solution should have been implemented from the beginning. I don’t have any welding equipment and it’s not acceptable to have to do that myself at that price.
It’s a lot of money for something that wasn’t designed properly and fits the way it does.
I hope they quickly figure the right hardware to allow quick removal + strong fitment. I paid this price for rapid hand removal, not to use tools to remove it or DIY welding. The solution they suggest from their above support email is not satisfactory. Your solution sounds the best so far. Replace those flimsy clips with permanent hardware, then use the handscrews which are not the issue. Handscrews should be a bit shorter too cause they go past the nut and into the wheel well.
Sorry, I didn't read the full post, but I saw did you get a full set front and rear? I did, and the thumb screws are two different lengths for the fronts and the rears. I had them all piled together and thought they were all the same length. It's at least something to check as that could cause some weird stuff potentially.

Yeah I responded to the order notification email and said that I would like to cancel. They got back to me pretty quickly, and refunded quickly as well.
