STEP 1 – PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
A)
Bushwacker
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: Bushwacker 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.
