Product review (5 stars): Perfect Replacement for the Maytag MFW9700 Front Loader
I have a 4+ year old Maytag MFW9700 front loading washing machine and these fit perfectly.  The kids do most of the laundry in the house and complained about occasional little holes in their clothes - of course, they neglected to tell me about the old baffle that broke loose weeks prior.  The new baffle is lighter grey but will last another 4 years at least - looks solid.  The baffle must be set in place and pulled forward to lock them in - I found that locking them inplace was made easier by putting a flat screwdriver along the back of the baffle and using that to help push it forward to lock it in.  I did not use the screws, but kept them just in case. The old ones were not held in place with screws, but that option is there (you need to remove the top of the washing machine to access the area that allows you to put the screw in)
