Ensure that both left and right hand front Fender Flares suit the profile of
the vehicle. Note the areas where the Fender Flares come in contact with the
vehicle. NOTE: Before fitting Fender Flares remove any moldings, strips or
existing flares from the wheel arch. If there is a body side molding, mark
where the molding is to be cut, alternatively the Fender Flare can be cut to
go around the molding. Be sure to allow enough room for the extrusion. No
drilling of vehicle is required for Pocket Look Fender Flares. This is a non-
drill product.
STEP 1 |
Attach the extruded plastic bolts. Peel back white tape liner from the bottom
side of the extruded plastic bolt and press until it snaps into place. Ensure
inside of Fender Flares where the rubber seal is attached is clean, using the
alcohol wipes provided. Wipe away any residue with a dry clean cloth.
STEP 2
Attach the included gasket to the Fender Flares. Peel back 2” of the adhesive
backing and position on the Fender Flare. Attach the gasket to the Fender
Flare, peeling back a few inches at a time. Ensure pressure is used to secure
gasket to Fender Flare edge. Attach gasket along all areas the Fender Flare
will make contact with the vehicle body.
STEP 3
Attach rubber seal to the bottom front corner of front and rear Fender Flares
per the attached image that will locate around the factory spats. Trim any
excess gasket and discard.
STEP 4
Clean the body areas where the Fender Flares will make contact. Ensure fenders
are dry prior to install.
STEP 5
Hold Fender Flare towards vehicle in the position of best fit. Note the (4)
slots in the flare that correspond with factory installed hex screws in the
wheel arch. Remove factory hex screws and retain for later re-installation.
Peel back one inch of tape liner for the rubber gasket each end of the Fender
Flares then fold at 45 degrees outside of the Fender Flare. Remove one inch of
tape liner from the rubber gasket that locates around the factory spat.
STEP 6
Using the previously removed hex head screws, loosely install flares beginning
at the front of the flare working to rear. Ensure the cut-out shape fits
around factory mud spat against vehicle surface. Ensure the previously removed
one inch of tape liner from front and rear Fender Flares is on the outside of
the rubber gasket. When satisfied with position, completely secure the (4) hex
screws.
STEP 7
Starting at the front of the Fender Flare, carefully remove tape liner from
rubber gasket a few inches at a time. Ensure rubber gasket is not tucking into
flare and sits flush neatly against the fender body. Ensure all fixing points
are tight and secure. Apply forward pressure to adhere the gasket along the
edge of entire length of Fender Flare once gasket liner is removed. Repeat
install steps for the opposite side of the Fender Flares.
STEP 8
Clean the body areas where the Fender Flares will make contact. Ensure fenders
are dry prior to install. 
STEP 9
Hold Fender Flare towards vehicle in the position of best fit. Note (4) slots
in Flare that correspond with factory installed hex screws, and the (3) that
correspond with vacant holes in wheel arch. Remove (4) screws and retain for
later re-installation.
STEP 10
Insert grey screw plug into vacant holes at position (A) ensuring that the
raised head of the screw plug runs parallel with vehicle body.
STEP 11
Position Fender Flare so that the top (3) slots engage with the raised heads
of the grey screw plugs. Using the provided washers and philips head screws,
loosely install flare into postion (A). Using previously removed hex screws,
loosely install remaining (4) screws at location. Ensure cut out in flare fits
around factory mud spat. When satisfied, completely secure the (7) locations.
At location (B) install the U shape clip so that the clip slides over the
inner wheel well lip and is in line with the slot in the Fender Flare. To
secure the clip to Fender Flare apply inward tension on Fender Flare, position
the clip so that the notch in the clip locates securely in the slot of the
Fender Flare. Tighten all screw locations.

rubber gasket a few inches at a time. Ensure rubber gasket is not tucking into
flare and sits flush neatly against the fender body. Ensure all fixing points
