My20 ducato with OEM factory fitted flaps.
Noticed today one was about to fall off. The inboard fixings are 2 steel plates clamping the flap and these are then "clamped" to the van in 3 places. All good - apart from Fiat used steel rivets and both were rusted and non existent, so the weight was causing the clamp to loosen.
Easy job (nut n bolt or 2x 4.8x16 aluminium rivets if you have them)
Not an easy spot unless you look, so worth checking.
