GENERIC RVE FLARE INSTALLATION

ALWAYS CHECK PARTS AND FITMENT BEFORE STARTING & ADJUST PROCESS TO SUIT

UNIVERSAL STEPS TO INSTALLING FLARES - DIFFERS WITH EACH VEHICLE

Remove all fasteners from factory wheel arch inner guards

Install speed clips to original body fastening holes

  • If installed from factory, remove front LH and RH sensors and surrounds. Colour match if required

  • Drill holes in flares for sensors (Note: the original front bumper may need drilling behind, for sensor position)

Clean mounting area with Prepsol or suitable cleaner

Position flares using 2nd person, or tape in position.

Mark around edges with chinagraph marker pencil or similar

Apply 3M primer using ‘dabber’ to vehicle.

  • If needed, attach sensor surrounds with plastic backing to flare and urethane sensor surround behind

  • Plug sensors in with rubber rings

Urethane around flare edge just below tape (urethane and install one flare at a time). Peel away 1 inch of adhesive backing tape from each corner (for easy removal when flare is on the vehicle)

Position flare and loosely fix fasteners. Once aligned, tighten fasteners. Note: for front flares you may have to drill out holes for fasteners if there’s too much pressure due to sensor. Note: flare goes on top of inner guard plastic and mud flap goes on top of flare.

Peel away remaining adhesive backing tape and apply pressure using soft cloth in hands to taped areas.

Fix small screw to front and rear corners

Clean off all excess urethane and marker pencil

Do visual check on all areas. If any areas of contact are coming away, apply clamps for approx 8 hours to allow urethane to cure.
