Hello,
I couldn't figure out what I should check,
google translator translates in an incomprehensible way to me,
so I struggle to answer you.
Excuse me

@ wonder
Most other car's mudflaps are screwed or clamped to the sheet metal wheel arches. They are securely fixed.

The Jazz however attaches to the plastic wheel arches and rear bumper. In order to fit them, serrated nut clips are fixed to the plastic wheel arch liner.
To allow room for these serrated clips, squares are cut from the wheel arch lips.

My dealer fitted rear flaps - if I grab them and force them to move side to side, I see the mounting points move. The bumper and the liner will flex. It is clear to see that they are attached to plastic panels and not steel wheel arch lip.
If your dealer simply drilled thru to the wheel arch then the flaps will feel more secure.

Hello,
I can't tell you, I looked at the mud flaps and they seem to be fitted well,
I tried to move them and all in all they seem to me fixed well,
I don't know what I can still control,
but even if they didn't charge me for the assembly, I think it is more likely that they simply mounted them with screws without cutting the sheet metal.
