Have you noticed a difference with the guards on? With these 295s sitting so wide out the fenders they really throw any grime up from the road onto the doors. Hoping these would help.
Helps a ton!

I have been so pleased with them. It has allowed me to do a spray detailing instead of a full wash multiple times.

Yes a world difference!

Thank you both! Guess we'll be getting them. :)

edit: Just ordered them, can't wait to get them fitted on!
 
FYI the ones they have for sale are ONLY for the SRT Durango. They DO NOT fit the normal RT/GT etc. The SRT has wider fenders. The 3rd gen durango FB page has a post on this. I plan to return mine b/c they don't fit. Mine is a 2017 RT. I suppose you could modify them to fit but for $70 you shouldn't have to.
 
Gave mine a trim with the dremel, yes it would be nice if they were offered for the non srt. I’ll try to get pics up tomorrow. Had mine on for about a month, still there and doing what they r supposed to

That's exactly what I need then. The SRT is HORRIBLE at slinging dirt from the road onto the car. Even with the wider fenders the 295 wide tires stick out too much and any water on the road ends up along the side.

Thanks for the heads up, though. Good looking out.

I emailed the company over 2 weeks ago and never got a response in regards to RT fitment. Thank you for letting us know it's no good. Sorry you had to find out the hard way.
 
Got mine installed. Front installed great, rear are a pain because they are not cut correctly. Lined up the screw with the hole no problem, but the guard is cut a little too thin. It took me about 10 minutes to get this one clip to grab. You can see the plastic wheel well liner behind the guard because the guard does not go all the way like it should. It should hold, but it was a lot more work than it should have been.

I had a similar issue - fronts were easy and fit solid, the rear's I can't get to fit properly. I shot them an e-mail a while back but didn't get a response. Just forwarded it to them again. The pictures here are the best I could get to show the issue when the screw is in place - https://imgur.com/a/8K6tcYH

It's really close to fitting correctly but appears to be off just a tad. I can't get more than 1 clip (maybe another about an inch away) to fit all the way at the top.

Yep, exactly my experience. Obviously they are not going anywhere because the screw will hold it into place. However, you need more than just the screw and one clip at the top to allow the rock guard to follow the contour of the wheel well. I'm just surprised that something that is made specifically for this vehicle is not cut perfectly to follow the inner lip of the body panel to allow the clips to fully attach.

If you do get a response from the company, please post an update as I would like to know if there is a solution or not.

Interesting, I was able to get 4 clips on there. Can you adjust the top part of the mud guard closer to the inside of the wheel well to get more clips on? I took a pic with my phone but not sure how to post the pics from my phone.

You could, but then you would have the opposite problem with the top clips, the mud guard would be "in" too far. Right now, my bottom is perfect (due to the screw) and the top is perfect. It's just the middle portion that is not quite wide enough in a few spots, just like in KARNAG3's pictures.
 
Here are pics of mine installed. Not sure why it is showing up sideways.

Yours looks like they line up better than mine do. Here is the 2nd clip down from the top (this clip and top are very close together):


You can see the clip pictured is barely hanging on, and the gap between the mud guard and plastic just gets bigger as you go down.

On second inspection, it looks like perhaps my hole at the bottom is drilled slightly off. If I rotate the entire mud guard inward, everything might line up. I would have to re-drill the hole at the bottom and trim some of the guard, but that might work...
 
Finally got around to slightly modifying my Z1 rock guards. By drilling a second hole for the rear guards, that allowed me to "swing" in the guard enough to get the clips to fit like they should originally have. Here is the picture of the original hole, and the screw in the new hole.
 
I'm almost sure he'll make more - just be mildly assertive via email. ZL1 is literally a one man operation (as far as manufacturing the parts) - that is why their inventory and responsiveness varies all over the place - all it takes is one internet forum thread praising one of their parts and he gets slammed with orders and bingo, out of stock and behind. I've been quite satisfied with the stuff I have tried so far - the quality and designs are pretty good!

You think trying to order a current in-production part is bad, I have been trying to get them to consider a new, custom design for a better jack point interface, and so far, not too excited in working with me - but was expecting that.
