Troubleshooting
Mudguard still loose after installation
Ensure all bolts and the nut are securely tightened. Check that the shim is correctly positioned between the mudguard and the frame. Verify that the mudguard is compatible with the clamping kit.
Missing parts in the kit
Double-check the packaging. If parts are confirmed missing, contact the retailer or SKS customer support with your proof of purchase.
