You'd probably be able to find the screws and workable clips at any hardware store. Hard to believe they would have sent it out that way to you though. Call them up and tell them they shorted you.
Thank you Cat for posting all of the detailed info provided by Weathertech. The price went up a little but I found some on sale for the holiday so ordered a set. I too was thinking the front flaps were a little strange looking but once reading the design issues, it all made sense. Especially like that they even considered the galvanic corrosion issue which a lot of us in northern climates would have to deal with. The only other one that offers anything similar was the RekGen but they don't offer a rear flap if you have a metal bumper. Just look at the threads on here about their hardware rusting., even the $1000 gold plated flaps. Then think about what that is doing to your aluminum fender.From Weathertechtoday (2/18):
"Good morning, Cat-
Thank you for your patience!
I contacted our Engineering department to provide you with some additional information.
Each WeatherTech MudFlap is individually designed to create the best MudFlap available.
Ease of installation, vehicle protection, and aesthetics are constant influences in this. Usually pushing back at each other.
Part 110140, the Ford Bronco front Mudflaps, were challenging and required special considerations.
- Ease of installation and removal if desired - The traditional J-shaped design was deviated from the basis that a drilled upper connection point would be required.
-Quick release fenders would also need MudFlap separation if desired. The On/off removability would be more difficult and leave a permanent attachment hole.
- Without a secure attachment, the molded plastic coming up following the lines of the fender would create a vibration point. The material would eventually be rubbed away.
-The traditional J-shaped design would also create a pocket for rocks and debris to accumulate inside the fender.

Vehicle protection was considered with the gap created. The centerline of the tire in relation to the gap would be below. Debris would be unlikely to travel through the trajectory and reach the door panels. Nylon u-clips versus steel u-clips were also supplied to avoid galvanic corrosion.

Aesthetics were considered with our traditional bulbous MudFlap design. However, with requirements to avoid the rock rails, tube step, and large 35” wheels, design
modifications to the traditional MudFlap needed to be implemented. The bulbous design on the outer half was left, to create strength on the extension outer part.

I hope this helps!
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. We’re happy to help.
