ABSTRACT:
A retractable mud flap assembly for a motor vehicle includes an enclosure having a forward end and a rearward end and a generally flat profile and being open at its rearward end. A mud flap of a flat flexible shape is positioned for retraction into the enclosure and extension therefrom. A linear actuator, which is preferably a double acting hydraulically or pneumatically actuated cylinder, is attached to the mud flap and adapted to apply force thereto to extend and retract them. Preferably a downwardly curved lip extends from the lowermost rear surface of the enclosure.
