ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A splash guard structure for automotive vehicles is provided for use in conjunction with a supporting struc- ture having a flanged lip including vertically extending portions. This splash guard structure includes a sheet preferably of heavy rubber formed with two sets of reces- sed sockets. These sets of sockets are located at respec- tive upper corner and lower portions of an arcuate edge of the splash guard and arranged to accommodate various vehi- cle body configurations. A thin membrane of the rubber exists at the bottom of each of the sockets of the splash guard and only the membrane of two selected sockets are ruptured for each specific installation thereby maintaining the integrity of the guard to prevent passage of water and debris therethrough. Also included in the combination are two metal clips having a Z-shaped configuration and which are coated with a rust resistant finish and are formed with two legs cooperating with a center interconnecting bar to form clamping elements. The one leg is easily inserted through the membrane of the appropriate socket on the splash guard, while the other leg is conveniently and securely at- tached to the flanged lip of the supporting structure. The flanged lip, which exists as part of the body fender at the wheel well is engaged in mechanically coupled relationship by barbs formed on the one leg of the clip.
