Volkswagen C-Trek Mud Flaps – 4-Piece Splash Guard Set for Crossover Wagon
The Volkswagen C-Trek (Chinese: 蔚领, pinyin: Weilîng) is a compact crossover wagon produced by FAW-Volkswagen from 2017 to 2020. Positioned as "China's first crossover wagon," the C-Trek combines sedan comfort with wagon practicality and slightly raised ground clearance. Measuring 4,556mm long with a 2,610mm wheelbase, the C-Trek's wheel arch geometry differs from the standard Bora sedan due to its wider body cladding and crossover styling. AutoBridge supplies mud flaps (also called mudguards, splash guards, or wheel arch protectors) precision-engineered to the C-Trek's specific wheel arch contour.

Why C-Trek Owners Choose Aftermarket Mud Flaps
The C-Trek is popular among Chinese families and has developed a niche following among used-car exporters shipping China-made VW wagons to the Middle East (UAE, Saudi Arabia), Eastern Europe, and Russia. In these markets, dealers often need aftermarket mud flaps to replace damaged OEM parts or upgrade protection for used imports. The C-Trek's crossover body style means slightly wider wheel arch cladding than a standard sedan, requiring model-specific mud flap dimensions (front 180×255mm, rear 190×250mm).
Material and Durability
AutoBridge offers three material options for the C-Trek mud flaps: PP (polypropylene, standard), PP+TPE (enhanced flexibility in cold weather), and TPE (premium, odorless). All options include pre-drilled holes matching the C-Trek's factory fastener positions. PP soft plastic is the most popular choice for wholesale orders (100+ sets) due to its balance of cost, flexibility, and weather resistance.
Installation Guide for Volkswagen C-Trek Mud Flaps
Pre-Install Check
Before installing, confirm your C-Trek's production year (2017-2020) and verify the wheel arch geometry matches the mud flap dimensions listed above (front 180×255mm, rear 190×250mm). The C-Trek's wheel arch cladding is wider than the standard Bora sedan, so do not attempt to use Bora sedan mud flaps on a C-Trek.
Installation Steps
Clean the wheel arch area with isopropyl alcohol to remove dirt and wax.
Align the front mud flap with the pre-drilled holes in the wheel arch cladding.
Insert the plastic fender fastener clips through the mud flap into the factory holes.
Secure with the provided U-clip screws and Allen key (torque: hand-tight, do not over-tighten).
Repeat for the rear wheels (rear mud flaps are smaller: 190×250mm).
Test by spraying water on the wheels to confirm mud flaps deflect splash away from the body.
China Market Tips
For C-Trek owners in China: The factory wheel arch cladding is painted plastic. When installing mud flaps, avoid over-tightening fasteners to prevent cracking the cladding. For used-car exporters: Mud flaps are a common "refresh" item when preparing C-Trek wagons for export. Replacing damaged or missing mud flaps improves the vehicle's appearance for resale in Middle East and Eastern European markets.
