Default how do i install rear splash guards?

I bought front and rear guards. i installed the fronts but i can't get the rears installed b/c the wheel is in the way. Please don't tell me i have to remove the rear wheels to install them.

How about using a 90 degree ratchet screwdriver? You can get them at Home Depot.

just line up the bracket provided... use a screwdriver to screw a small sharp bolt in slowly. Once you screwed a hole enough to hold the bolt, remove the bolt and line up the rearguard and screw in the bolt that comes with the package...thats the way i did mine.

Actually, there are right-angle drill heads/adaptors.

In the 4 hours since you first posted the question, you could have easily jacked up your car, removed a wheel, drilled the hole with a regular drill. Repeated on the other side.

Look in section 6 of the Owners Manual titled "In Case of Emergency". It shows you where the jack is stored and the location of the lift points on the body of the Z.
