To prevent scratching the paint, thoroughly wash the fenders to remove any dirt and debris, and dry completely.
The rear fender bras are designed to have an extremely tight fit that may make installation difficult, especially for the first time. To ease installation, warm the bras by exposure to direct sunlight or a hair dryer prior to installation. Improper or tight fitment is not a warrantable condition.
1. | Remove two screws (3) and the tail lamp/turn signal lens (2) from the chrome base (4) on one side of the vehicle. | |
2. | Disconnect the tail lamp/turn signal connector from the chrome lamp base. | |
3. | Select the correct-side rear fender bra (1). Drape the bra, fleece side down, over the top of the fender with the narrow end to the rear. | |
4. | Hook the inside pocket (8) over the leading edge (9) of the wheel opening. | |
5. | Use a 25.4–50.8 mm (1.0–2 in) piece of anti-abrasion tape (11) to protect the finish, then hook the lower clip (10) under the inner front of the fender. Install another piece of tape, and hook the upper clip over the edge of the wheel opening. | |
6. | Remove the screw (5) and flat washer (6), and the chrome lamp base from the fender. | |
7. | Position the rear tab (7) over the screw hole in the fender. Position the chrome base over the bra tab. Align the mounting holes in the tab, chrome base and fender. | |
8. | Apply Loctite Low Strength Threadlocker 222 (purple), and install the screw (5) and flat washer (6) to fasten the chrome base to the fender bracket. Do not fully tighten. | |
9. | Smooth out any wrinkles, and make sure the bra lays flat against the fender. | |
10. | Tighten the screw to 4.1–5.4 N·m (36–48 in-lbs). | |
11. | Connect the tail lamp/turn signal connector to the chrome lamp base. | |
12. | Place the lamp lens into position against the base. Install two screws and tighten to 2.4–2.7 N·m (21–24 in-lbs). | |
13. | Repeat on the opposite side of the vehicle. | |
