Before the installation, remove the factory fender flares if equipped. On SR and SR5 models, remove the front portion of the flare from the front bumper, and remove any wheel well liner bolts.

Remove the 2 bolts (10mm) and 2 tabs (shown in red) on the front of each front fender flare. For the 2 tabs, turn the pin counterclockwise and pull them out, to allow the tabs to slide off of the fender flares.

Remove 2 bolts on top of each front fender flare.

Remove 3 bolts on the back side of each front fender flare.

NOTE, these 3 bolts are longer than the front ones. Make sure not to mix them up.

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.

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.

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.

Finally, reinstall any unused bolts from the factory fender flares, and tighten up all the bolts until snug. DO NOT over-tighten the bolts to prevent damage to the fender flares.

Enjoy the added protection and improved aesthetics to your vehicle!
