Setup and Installation

Installation of Bushwacker Pocket/Rivet Style Fender Flares is designed to be straightforward, with minimal drilling or trimming required. Follow these steps carefully for optimal fitment.

Tools Required:

• Socket Wrench Set
• Drill (if minor drilling is required for specific models)

• Clean Cloth

Installation Steps:

1. Preparation: Clean the vehicle's fender wells and surrounding body panels thoroughly to ensure proper adhesion and fit.
2. Test Fit: Carefully position each fender flare onto its corresponding wheel well to ensure it aligns correctly with the vehicle's contours. This helps identify any potential fitment issues before permanent installation.
3. Hardware Assembly: Insert the recessed stainless steel bolts into the designated pockets on the fender flares. Secure them with the provided washers and nuts, but do not overtighten at this stage.
4. Secure Flares: Align the fender flare with the vehicle's existing mounting points. Use the provided clips and screws to secure the flare to the vehicle's fender lip. Some applications may require minor drilling for optimal attachment.
5. Final Tightening: Once all flares are in place and aligned, progressively tighten all hardware, ensuring a snug and secure fit without deforming the flares or vehicle body.
6. Inspect: After installation, visually inspect all flares to ensure they are properly seated and all hardware is tightened.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Bushwacker Fender Flares, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Regular Cleaning: Wash the flares regularly with mild automotive soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
• Inspect Hardware: Periodically check all mounting hardware for tightness. Vibrations from driving can sometimes loosen fasteners.
• UV Protection: While the flares have built-in UV protection, applying a non-abrasive UV protectant designed for automotive plastics can further extend their life and maintain their matte black finish.
• Avoid Impact: While durable, excessive impact from off-road obstacles can damage the flares. Exercise caution when driving in challenging terrain.
