Chevrolet Fender Flares

PRIOR TO INSTALLATION

A. Husky ® only approves installing 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.
B. Fit: Verify the fit of the flares to vehicle. (Some filing, sanding, or cutting may be necessary to ensure proper fit).
C. 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.
D. 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.
E. 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)
F. 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.
G. Decals: Flares may interfere with existing decals on vehicle. If you wish, remove decals prior to installation of flares.
H. Care & Cleaning: Husky® 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.
PLEASE READ: Dirt and debris can become lodged between the fender flares and the vehicle’s fenders, causing scratching and paint wear from vibration. Husky® is not responsible for any damage, and the installation of our fender flares is done with the buyer’s understanding that this scratching and paint wear may occur.
3 YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY AGAINST ANY MANUFACTURING DEFECTS

  • To claim a warranty, you must provide Proof of Purchase.

Light Assembly Installation

A) Clean the top surface of the cover (indicated by blue arrow) with the alcohol pad.
B) Install the Blackout Film to the top surface Cover by first aligning the two dashed red edges as shown.
C) Assemble Light assembly to fender flare as shown. Route marker light wire through the center hole in the gasket and fender flare. DO NOT overtighten screws as this could crack the cover. Tighten enough that the light assembly does not move.
