The system includes a flexible sheet of mud flap material with a top edge defining at least two mounting boles with both mounting holes to include a bolt hole and either a slot or a first slit extending from the top edge and to its corresponding bolt hole, at least a second slit may be used in conjunction with sheet having a first slit. The second slit or plurality of second slits extend from the bolt hole, parallel to, or away from the top edge of the mud flap material. The threaded distal end of a bolt extends through the mounting hole in the sheet and extends through a bracket hole in the mounting bracket.
