ABSTRACT:
A quick release mud flap apparatus includes a flexible panel having a bottom end and a top end. A rigid bracket is attached to and extends along a length of the top end. Each of a plurality of clamps is attached to the bracket and extends upwardly away therefrom. The clamps each include an actuator for selectively opening or closing the clamps. Each of the clamps are closed when the actuators are in a downward position located generally adjacent to the bracket and open when the actuators are spaced away from the brackets. The clamps are each selectively coupled to a floor rail such that the panel functions as a mud flap. A locking assembly selectively locks the actuators in the downward position.
