The present disclosure relates to a rock guard that includes a body with self-supporting frameless structure that has a hem and a plurality of mounting points mountable to a structure of the vehicle. The hem comprises a folded section of the material of the body and circumferentially surrounds the body, providing the guard with rigidity.
