Preparation Before Painting / Installation
Cleaning the vehicle.
Make sure to wash your vehicle, especially the area the fender flares will be mounted to including the inner fender lip. Any dirt or debris that has not been cleaned or
removed can potentially cause the improper fitment of the fender flare. If you are covering existing rust, we recommend sanding down the rust and primer over to prevent
further deterioration of the metal in the fender. Make sure the vehicle is dry before the installation. The fender flares come ready to be installed, however if you need to
clean them, please use a mild detergent to wash and then dry completely.
For RX Style Only (SKIP if you have SX or EX style)
Install the rivet screws and nuts to each of the rivet holes on the flare. Our rivets are designed to screw on to the fender flares only, and they shouldn't be touching the
vehicle body at all. Using hand tools, tighten nuts until fastener is snug. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN as this may damage the fender flare.
Installation of the Rubber Seal
Before you start cutting any rubber seal, please study the diagram. Do not use the rubber seal in any other areas other than indicated; otherwise you will end up with
a shortage of rubber seal on your last flare. Start the installation of the rubber seal as indicated in the diagram. Then cut the rubber seal with a razor. Follow the same
instruction for the remaining flares.
*Each roll of the rubber seal provided is long enough to complete the 4 fender flares and with extra to spare, however we are not responsible for the improper use of
the rubber seal. Contact Lund International to purchase additional rolls of rubber seal.
