    Rolled fender, keeping the flare on?

    Hey guys, rolled my rear fenders recently and just had the flare on with some double sided tape, must have hit a big bump and got a little scrub and lost the flare on the roads.
    About to buy another one and was wondering if anyone had any ideas about keeping it secure, cant use the large rivets as the inner lip has been rolled.

    Thanks

    What brand tape did u use? apparently the 3m stuff is the ducks nuts and lasts a while.

    Id just be sure to clean both surfaces so it has the best opportunity to bond!

        Yep, 3M + clean contact surfaces is the go. I'm not talking about a quick wipe - make sure you give it a good going over with car wash detergent and then run it over with some wax and grease remover (both fender and plastic arches). More secure would be to use silastic, but it'll be ugly if you want to take them off.
