Platinum Member fen01 Posted October 21, 2018 Platinum Member Share Posted October 21, 2018 I'm about to replace the fender flares and side markers, but could do some help on how I remove the clips along the outer edge of the fender flares.. Is there a special tool / technique to removing them? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Member TimC Posted October 21, 2018 Platinum Member Share Posted October 21, 2018 I had to replace the side marker on the passenger side a while ago which involved removing some of the rivets although I didn’t remove the whole fender. I can’t exactly remember how I did it now though, I definitely didn’t drill them, I pushed the centres out and then the rivet pops out and you can reuse.it. I think it most likely I pushed the centre out from the front side using something like a small screwdriver. I do, however, remember getting the rivets out of the centre fill section of the front bumper this didn’t work for some reason and I did need to drill them. Are you doing all 4 fenders?

Platinum Member Obarno Posted October 21, 2018 Platinum Member Share Posted October 21, 2018 I drilled mine out too and replaced with new. Be careful not to enlarge the hole in the flare if the drill slips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
