fender flares

[cubiefan101]

Looking at taking of my front and rear fender flares. Does anybody have any advice on removal and reinstallation?

Pretty easy.



Gently pull the tabs out of the fender, on the bottom.

Then slowly pull the fender away from the body of the truck. You will see tabs on the back side, see picture, that fits into those holes.

How i would suggest something thin and plastic..

I ended up using an old pair of chopsticks and used my knife to cut it down to basically a wooden flathead, gently push the clips in. It's a tight squeeze

I have many pairs of them. It's good to have around.

Some of my white/gray clips were already broken on my brand new truck. I don't suppose anyone knows where I can get those? Dealer is saying what others have said, you have to buy the entire flare to get the clips. I've searched all the threads, is everyone just reusing their clips?

I contacted them. They were awesome but couldn't help. Ford uses special clips not available yet. My dealer is calling Ford for me to see if they can get just the clips. I'll let everyone know if I get part numbers.
