GEN 2 Rokblokz install issue

[FordPerf Addict]

Everything went great with the mud flap install except 1 screw. I went to screw the middle screw on on the front passenger side, and it would never get fully tight, now I go to unscrew it, and it will not come out either. I have no idea what I was ******** into and what’s behind the fender flare/ brake wheel well but I do not want to tear this thing fully apart it would be a pain in the ass. I figured there would be no issues bolting on a simple mudflap kit. Is there a but back there that got loose and is moving around? I can hear something turn when I try to screw and unscrew behind the painted part of the front fender.
I even pull abs push on the screw to try to get it to push out but I’m having no luck and I’m not sure how to fix this. I used the screws provided which were much more aggressively threaded then the stock ones

I can pull it out slightly and there other screws are tight but this just bugs me and I want it right.

Are the screws inserted into existing holes?

Did it just miss or push back the clip it screws into?

Yes I put it right back into factory holes

I was thinking possibly that , maybe it pushed the clip back? If there is a clip in there, but there’s no way for me to easily tell and I can’t pull on the screw and get traction for it to unscrew it’s way out

Part it out

E-Mail Rokblokz. When I ordered mine, I was emailed about the wrong screws being sent in the package. I emailed them and had the right screws mailed to me. Might be the same problem.

I don't remember what I did but definitely don't leave it like that. It will probably get torn off. I would back out the screw with an extra flat head screw driver using it like a pry bar or use a pair of pliers and then try the factory screw. I don't remember if there was a clip or not but I want to say yes. I would take it off and look/feel for the clip to make sure it is secured correctly

Front ones try and use the larger screws they send? Probably just stripped the fender hole and need a little
Bigger screw. I didn’t reuse the OEM screws


Never mind read you used the new screws. It’s not hard to just unscrew the top and bottom then use needle nose to remove the middle screw form the flap. It’ll take 2 minutes. Now the rear flaps are the pain ones.

Anyone know what size screws and pitch these are? Had a few pop out when off-roading and want to just head to the local Hardware store for new screws and washer
