I have a factory fender flare that seems to be pulling away from the bed at the top. Can I remove and use double sided tape or is something else can be done.
Thanks

If its pulling away already , I doubt tape will hold it..may need a couple screws in it.

Seems the screws go into the bottom of the fender. I'm not sure how to screw the upper section to the body. Any helpful hints?

It looks like there are some tree clips in the side of the fend flares is this true or the screws are the bottom only?

May have to pull it off and replace the clips...you can find replacement clips at local auto parts..

Ok thanks. I'll see what I can do. It looks like the flare is just held on by the tree pushin keepers. Is that it?

I believe that is true in the rear...

I have been busy and never got to this yet. I noticed today ( it was colder) there seems to be some plastic sticking in the side of the fender along with the bottom ones. Is this normal? There seems to be three along the side of the fender and 5 holding up from the bottom. hard to explain.

Sorry to keep beating this horse. I am putting off pulling this flare off as I can not seem to find a drawing or photo of the stock ones to check. It looks like the bottom is held on with the standard tree push in plugs but the side seem to be secured with clips molded into the flare itself. Has anyone pulled the stock 2007 flares off and could confirm? Also if these are molded into the flare how do I fix them?
