FLARE INSTALLATION PROCEDURES Step 2: Preparing the Work Area A) Support and remove wheel using jack and jack stands. B) Remove wheel, factory flare, and any wheel well trim within 4” of the rim. Step 3: Fitting Flare to Body Side Molding (Front and Rear) On vehicles with hard rubber body side moldings, it will be necessary to cut either the flares or the moldings. Note: Cutting moldings usually produces better results. Option 1: Cutting Side Molding A) Place flare into wheel well opening and mark a line where flare intersects molding. B) Protect vehicle surface with masking tape and cut molding on marked line. C) Sand molding end with fine grit sandpaper to smooth finish. Option 2: Cutting Flare A) Place flare against molding at point of intersection and trace molding contour on flare. B) Cut flare on marked line. Step 4: Edge Trim Installation (See Illustration #1) A) Remove factory installed edge trim when necessary. B) Peel two to three inches of red vinyl backing away from edge trim tape and affix to flare at one end. (With Adhesive Strip to the inside of flare, See illustration #1) C) Press edge trim into place along edge of flare in one- foot increments, pulling red vinyl backing free as you continue to work your way around the flare. Step 5: Flare Installation (Front) (See Illustration #2) A) Clip and/or tape flare in place on fender and verify correct fit. The inner flare edge should be in contact with the wheel well roll-under flange, and the outer flare edge should conform to vehicle fender contours. See Illustration #2. B) Once flare is positioned properly in wheel well rim, drill and secure flare to fender at location #1 (See Illustration #2) using the kit supplied 9/64” drill bit and a small rivet. Secure flare rear “flat” to fender roll- under with two small rivets in the same manner. Remaining rivets are installed at the locations illustrated.
