ABSTRACT:
A mud flap comprises a rigid element which is permanently attached to a vehicle, a bracket depending from the bottom of the rigid element, and a flexible flap element releasably attached within a channel of the bracket. Pins through holes in the channel walls form the releasable attachment. The pins terminate in resilient detents. When a detent is not deformed, the shaft and detent is larger than the holes in the channel walls. This serves to retain the pin within the holes in normal use. However, an operator may nevertheless grasp the enlarged pin head and extract the pin when it is desired to remove the releasable element.
