Method B) (PHOTO 6)
A. Use a pair of Vice-Grip™ type locking pliers to hold a heavy-
duty razor blade so the cutting edge of the blade can be
pushed into the molding.
B. Use a gentle rocking motion to push through the molding.
Be careful not to touch the painted fender with the razor
blade.
6. Prep the Vehicle for Tape
A. The tape bond strength will be the strongest if the truck
fender is free of any waxes, oils or other foreign substances.
B. Use rubbing alcohol or other wax remover on the areas
of the fender where the flare tape will make contact. To
determine where these areas are, hold the flare in place
and use a grease pencil or masking tape to outline the flare
contact areas.
C. Remove the masking tape or wipe off the grease pencil
marks when the area is clean.
7. Drill the Flare (PHOTO 7)
W A R N I N G
•
Always wear safety glasses when installing this kit. A drilling operation will cause
flying metal chips. Flying chips can cause eye injury
A. Drill a 3/16" hole through each of the dimples on the
underside of the flare.
B. Remove the burrs from the holes.
Position the Flare on the Vehicle (PHOTO 8)
A. Hold the flare in position against the fender. Make sure
the flare fits the body details on both sides of the wheel
opening.
B. Use spring clamps to temporarily hold the flare in position
by clamping the flare to the fender lip. Make sure the flare
fits in the detail areas of the fender.
C. Work out any gaps between the flare and the fender by
pushing the flare tighter against the truck, or by pulling the
flare out slightly to reduce the amount of pressure against
the truck. Adjusting the flare fit in one area is likely to
change the fit in another area.
D. Check the fit in the detail areas and adjust if necessary.
Trouble Shooting
- Is the flare making contact with any side molding? This can
cause the flare to bulge out at the top or bottom. Remove
enough additional molding to give a 1/8" to 1/4" gap
between the molding and the flare.
-
Does the fender lip return at an up or down angle compared
to the area of the flare where the screws will go? This can
