factory fender flairs

greyghost · #1 09-20-2009, 11:44 AM

i was wondering how the factory fender flairs were fastened around the top?
i know there;s some screws in the wheel well lip that have to be removed but did ford use double sided tape for the part that touches the painted surface or not? i was headed to the local u-pull it yard monday morning and was thinking about what to get while i was looking for my explorer cargo rack and my other "50" items of interest.

They have like those panel fasteners and then there are holes that go into the bed.

f you do put them on your truck your gonna have to drill holes to do it the factory way

oh , i pulled the ones off my '94 i had when i had it repainted and it had what apeared like double sided tape around the top edge i wonder what years would interchange with a 2004 truck? i like the looks of the flairs but it would be anyone's guess as what year truck you would hapen to find in that yard ?

I would say 2001+ would interchange
06+ they went with the "fake rivets" on the outside look

will the 06+ fit the same way as you stated earlier drilling the holes? would anyone happen to have a pic of one taken off i don't know about the drilling the holes in a perfectly clean body unless i could get them exactly right i'd hate to f@#$ that part up.

did they make it that way with the holes in 93 to 97 cuz i need a new box as you can tell from my profile pic

I don't think mine have any type of tape behind them. If there was, I don't think I'd get so much dirt and crap between the flare and the fender when I wheel.

I have a set of fronts if you are interested in, let me know.

I was thinking at work today

You could probably get away with double sided tape as long as u use the 3M brand since there are screws that hold it on at the bottom

i struck out at the bone yard today i couldn't find a complete set of 4 anywere.

Jay FX4 · #13 09-21-2009, 06:58 PM

Yeah I would at least try taping them before I started drilling up my fenders. The 3M tape, if applied to a properly prepared surface, is excellent stuff.
