A black automotive part with red 3M VHB double-sided tape along its edges, placed on a beige textured carpet.

Apply two layers of the 3M™ tape to the back side of the fender flares, as shown in the picture. Make sure to peel off the first layer before applying the second layer.

Apply one layer of the 3M™ tape on the rear door flare like indicated in the picture.

Leave the backing of the tape on for now.

We recommend applying adhesion promoter on the back side of the flares as well as on the fender paint before installing the 3M™ tape to help with better adhesion.

Make sure to thoroughly clean the paint with Isopropyl alcohol.

Optimal surface temperature for the 3M™ Super Strength Molding Tape is above 65°F (18°C).

Next, peel off only less than an inch of each end of the tape and leave the backing as shown in the pictures. Then line up each fender flare to the fender, make sure the holes line up correctly.

Loosely install the bolts to help seat the flares into the correct position, before peeling off the backing of the tape and applying even pressure to help bond the fender flares to the body panel.
