Installing strakes AFTER front splash guards?

I'd like to install strakes, but unfortunately I already have the front splash guards. Anyone know how to do this? I'm asking because, while I'm good at following instructions, I'm not very handy—so I'm NOT the type who could "figure it out" just by looking. (In an older thread, someone mentioned it might be possible if you had small hands, which I do.) Also, would I need to replace the double-sided tape? If so, exactly what tape—brand & size—should I get?

Thanks!

You should be able to get around the splash guards without taking them off.

Just take the entire wheel well cover out.

Or attempt to move it around the mud flap by pulling the screw and clip from the flap and working the well cover out so you can access the side vent from inside.

Good to know as I now have the flaps on

I had installed them before I had the mud flaps installed.

In case I need to adjust them later.
