how to install fender flares

Step 1: Install Fender Flare Trim

Fit trim over the edge of the flare and remove the red adhesive tape as you go along.

Step 2: Attach Outer Bolts

Make sure smooth edge of the washer hits the paint. Tighten down the nyloc nut using included Allen tool to hold bolt in place.

Step 3: Remove Factory Screws From Fender Well

These three screws are located along the edge of the fender well. On this 2011 F-150, they are 7/32-inch screws.

Step 4: Install Flare Bracket

The bracket should align with two of the removed screws. Reinstall top two 7/32nd screws and attach provided U-Clip to hold bracket in place.

Step 5: Test-Fit Fender Flare

With flare in place, mark bottom fender flare hole where it aligns with the plastic bumper for drilling a 1/4-inch hole.

Step 6: Mark Fender Flare for Drilling

Determine position of the hole in the frame relative to the fender flare and mark flare for drilling a 1/4-inch hole.

Drill out the plastic bumper and the marked position on the fender flare.

Step 8: Align Fender Flare and Install Hardware

Install included hardware at the newly drilled portions and reinstall the bottom 7/32-inch screws.

Step 9: Install Plastic Fasteners

Push in plastic fasteners at the indicated locations to further secure fender flare in place. Some fasteners may not be used on certain applications.

Step 10: Move to Rear of Vehicle

Remove 10mm support beam bolts from the rear wheel wells.

Step 11: Put Flare in Place

Loosely reinstall 10mm bolts to hold these in place.

Step 12: Mark Holes

Mark the sheet metal on the inside of the fender where the holes in the fender flare occur.

Step 13: Mark Final Sheet Metal Hole

This hole will require you to move the flare back to mark the proper position.

Step 14: Install U-Clips

U-clip holes should face toward the tire while the threaded portion should face in toward the body of the vehicle. Loosely install U-Clip bolts.

Step 15: Tighten Hardware

With U-clips in place, fully tighten all U-Clip bolts and the 10MM support beam bolts.

Step 16: Repeat Process on Opposite Side

Complete installation process on opposite side of vehicle.
