Default Factory Fender Flare Hardware

Does anyone know where the fender flare hardware can be purchased? Been searching the Internet and can't seem to find them anywhere.

Local ford dealer, or a ford dealer on ebay! Dont know the part #'s, your looking for sorry. I assume you mean the Clips, that pop into the flares/fenders?

Thanks for the reply. Yes, the clips and a couple bolts for each flare, I purchased as set or flares off of Ebay but I'm having a hard time sourcing the hardware. I've read in an older thread that Ford doesn't offer a hardware kit separately but I was hoping that someone had found a vendor that offers them.

I would think, if you walk into a Ford Dealer Parts Department. The Parts guy, can pull up a Exploded View, on his P.C., and order the Clips, bolts, and push pins that youll need.

I've asked this question before. Answer is no, you cannot source just the hardware. You have to buy new flares that come with the hardware. I think it was Steve that told me on a thread. I broke the white clip on my buddies ruby red f150 while removing the OEM fender flare

That is crazy to me! Wonder why Ford wouldn't offer them incase you break one off. There has to be someone that has installed these without the stock hardware. I guess I can always go to an auto parts store and buy generic clips. It would be nice to know the bolt size though.

Since I'll only be drilling holes on the underside of my fender, I wonder how well aluminum rivets would hold up. That way I don't have to worry about sourcing these stupid clips and no corrosion. Any thoughts?

I installed mine by drilling underneath the fender lip, and used quality double sided tape for the top of the flare to body.
It is holding well.

Why?

Just use 3M vhb tape. I have been running mine with it for a year and they are not coming off.

Stick the tape in the lip, you can see it next to the sticker. Use this
