Need help with fender flare
I searched but couldn't find anything. How do you put a stock front fender flare back on? Is there some special way I have to cross my eyes and hold my breath to put it back on? I hit a deer a few months ago and it got "popped off" but nothing is damaged. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Right now I'm with this thing. Thanks

First of all did just the plastic portion of the flare come off or did the metal bracket the that bolts on to the fender come off also? I'm guessing that only the plastic came off and if so you need to remove the metal bracket. You need to make sure that the little tabs that hold the plastic to the bracket didn't brake off. If you got lucky and the little tabs are still there you have to snap them back together. Now for the bad news. More then likely when you take off the metal bracket you will probably snap off one or more of the bolts. If so just grind down the bolt flat end and pop it out and just replace it with a new bolt and washer. The only reason I know this is I had to do this to 3 of the 4 fenders.
Good luck.
Good luck.

Ok. Thanks. So I need to remove the metal bracket, put the bracket and fender flare together, and then bolt it back on, if I don't snap off bolts? Thanks for the help
