AXC A0001 2019-Up Chevy Silverado

Product Information

The A0001 2019-Up Chevy Silverado 1500 is a set of fender flares designed to provide additional tire coverage and protect the vehicle’s body from debris and mud. The product comes with a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. The installation process requires specific tools and adherence to the instructions provided in the manual. Failure to follow the instructions may invalidate the warranty.

Prior to Installation

Before installing the flares, ensure that you use the hardware provided and follow the written instructions. The fit of the flares to the vehicle should be verified before installation, and some filing, sanding, or cutting may be necessary for proper fit. Using larger tires may require lowering bump stops or installing steering stops to prevent tire contact with the flare. Modifications may be necessary to maintain a minimum 4-inch clearance between flares and exhaust pipes. All exposed fasteners and bare metal should be treated with rust-resistant paint before installing flares, and inner fender wells should be sprayed with undercoating after flare attachments are completed. If existing decals on the vehicle interfere with the flares, remove them before installation.

Care & Cleaning

Fender flares are built to last, and any detergent used to wash the vehicle is sufficient to clean the flare. Do not use harsh abrasive detergents.

INSTALLATION GUIDE

PRIOR TO INSTALLATION

1. Install the flares according to these written instructions with the hardware provided.
   WARNING: Failure to install according to these instructions will invalidate the warranty. This includes, but is not limited to, using alternative installation methods, hardware, or materials. DO NOT USE: Loctite, Superglue, or similar products on the hardware or the flares. Install flares on cleaned vehicle surfaces.

2. Fit: Verify the fit of the flares to vehicle prior to installation (some filing, sanding, or cutting may be necessary to ensure proper fit).

3. Painting: (Optional) if paint is desired it must be done prior to installing flares on vehicle. Clean outer surface with a good grade degreaser. DO NOT USE LACQUER THINNER OR ENAMEL REDUCER AS A DEGREASER. Wipe outer surface thoroughly with a tack rag prior to paint. Application of plastic adhesion promoter for ABS plastic as per your paint system manufacturer’s recommendations is required. Paint flares using a high-quality enamel, or polyurethane automotive paint. If painting edge trim (not recommended), use a flex additive.

4. Performance: Using larger tires may increase the area required to turn the vehicle. Some tire/rim combinations may require lowering bump stops and or installing steering stops to prevent tire from contacting flare.

5. Exhaust System : Modifications may be necessary to maintain a minimum 4” clearance between flares and exhaust pipes. (Exhaust gases should not vent directly onto flares)

6. Metal Protection : All exposed fasteners and bare metal should be treated with rust resistant paint BEFORE installing flares. Spray inner fender wells with undercoating AFTER flare attachments have been completed.

7. Decals: Flares may interfere with existing decals on vehicle. If you wish, remove decals prior to installation of flares.

8. Care & Cleaning: Fender flares are built to last; any detergent you use to wash your vehicle is sufficient to clean the flare. Do not use any harsh abrasive detergents.
