Rear wheel well splash shield install question

[Jonnylaw]

I’m looking to replace one of my rear splash shields under the wheel well area (has a carpet/felt finish I’m assuming to help with road noise/lessen water splash back). It looks like it’s just held in place by several screws. So I’m thinking it’s something I can do by myself as I’d rather avoid the dealer or a body shop if I can.

I’m guessing to replace it, I’d just take off the wheel, remove the bolts/screws that hold the shield in place, take off the existing splash shield, place the new wheel well splash shield on and bolt it in.

Am I missing something? Seems like it should be a 15-20 minute job I can do myself? Anyone know the bit that is needed for the bolts/clips around the wheel well?

It’s this part:

Yes very easy to do, uses torx headed screws (t25 I believe) and 3, plastic slide on clips.

I would suggest buying the plastic clips too, they are not super intuitive to get off and can easily get damaged in the process. It would be so much more convenient knowing you had extras on hand.

BTW, you’ll need a pick to pull the little tab toward you so you can slide the clip off by pushing on the flat spot. This was the same on my 2013 C7 and 2016 8V Audi, so I assume there is only one style clip.

I actually ordered the parts kits for replacement of splash shield. I’m sure it comes with extra stuff I don’t need but it does come with all needed screws, clips, bolts, etc. will any pick do or is there something in particular that works best?
