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.
Edge Trim Installation
A) Peel two to three inches of red vinyl backing away from Edge Trim tape.
Applying the adhesive side of the edge trim to the inner side of the flare,
affix the edge trim to the top edge of the flare (the portion that comes in
contact with the vehicle).
B) Press edge trim into place along the top edge of the flare in one-foot
increments, pulling red vinyl backing free as you continue to work your way
around the top edge of the flare.
