kdj Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Take the tire off and remove the Philip screws in the wheel well (5 or 6) Then pop out the upper tabs (4 or 5). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zakzackzachary Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) 1) Remove all the relevant fender liner screws to gain access to the backside of the fender/metal. (maybe only for front wheels) There are a bunch of plastic tabs that snap the fender into the vehicle body. I've been told you could try to slide the fender (I think towards front of vehicle) to disengage and leave all the snaps in the body, but I couldn't get that to work. 2) Use a heat gun to warm up the backside of the plastic tabs, this'll hopefully help keep the tabs or your fender flare from breaking. 3) With slow, strong, even pressure, start at one end and pull away from the vehicle. They should pop out one by one. Once you get one out, you'll see how it's all attached. 4) I continued to warm everything up as I popped the fender flares off.
