FLARE INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
Step 1: Verifying fit
(A) Verify Fit by holding Bushwacker flares against the
vehicle body. Small fit adjustments can be made by
trimming excess plastic.
(B) DO NOT USE: Loctite, SuperGlue, or similar products
on the hardware or the flares.
Step 2: Painting.
Note: Painting (when desired) must be done after fit
verification, but prior to full installation.
(A) 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 painting.
(B) Paint Flares using a high quality lacquer, enamel, or
polyurethane automotive paint. Sanding or application of a
primer coat is optional.
Step 3: Edge Trim Installation
(A) The 26’ roll of edge trim that is included with each kit needs
to be cut to the following lengths: two 67” pieces, and two
85” pieces.
(B) Peel two to three inches of red vinyl backing away from the
edge trim tape. Applying the adhesive side of the edge trim
to the inner side of the flare, affix the edge trim to the top
edge of the flare (the portion that comes in contact with the
side of the vehicle).
(C) Press edge trim into place along the top edge of the flare in
one-foot increments, pulling red vinyl backing free as you
continue to work your way around the top edge of the flare.
