----------------------------------------------------------

 

Repair rust as needed. Recommend cutting the rust out and treating the metal with a rust inhibitor such as "Rust Mort"  available online or a local auto parts or you can use a rust encapsulater.  Keep in mind you can always remove these flares and work on the metal underneath at any given point in time.

Sem Automotive Products has given me Cladding color formulas, based on model year, to have paint custom mixed They can be found at www.claddyllc.com/painting

Step 1
Pre drill flares with 7/64” bit in the dimpled area of each screw pocket. Prep and paint Covers to your liking. ABS plastic is not UV protected. It will deteriorate over time if not painted.

Step 2
Cut the peel and stick gasketing into 24 pieces This gasket forms a seal around the screw as it penetrates the fender. Each piece will be roughly 1" Square

Step 3
Attach the previously cut Flare gasket around the top edge of the unit and trim at a slight back angle at the tips to allow water to run off the ends. Loosen a small portion of the Red release tape and pull gently to expose the 3M double stick tape. Be sure the gasket is tight.

Step 4
Hold unit in place and mark holes with a permanent marking pen. Making sure the piece is centered. Then set the flare aside.

Step 5
Place 1" piece of peel and stick gasketing over each screw location you previously marked. This will ensure that no water will get past the screw.

Step 6

Return Flare back over the correct fender.

Step 7

At this point an extra set of hands would be nice. Be sure piece is centered !

Drill a pilot hole with the 7/64" drill bit and insert one of the screws. This will hold the piece in place Repeat for the remaining 5 screws. Make sure not to over tighten. Repeat for the three remaining flares. YOU'RE DONE !
