Presented is a method and a device for releasably securing mud flaps to a vehicle. The method involves attachment of the mud flaps in such a way that upon the application of a predetermined downwardly exerted force on the mud flap, it will be released without damage to the flap, or its hanger bracket, thus enabling its retrieval and replacement. Structurally, the hanger bracket includes a metal socket fastened to the vehicle, and an elastically deformable insert which normally lies enclosed within the socket when supporting the flap, but which is elastically deformed and pulled through the socket when an extraordinary force is imposed on the flap.
