Dude...after watching the video last week, I ordered the parts kit from Amazon (less than $12-removal tool included) and was able to do the EXACT things you did (down to even using the same impact driver 😊) and had a nice tight front fender in less than 30 minutes. Much appreciated.
This video was a great find. I watched the first five minutes yesterday and immediately ordered the parts from Amazon. Parts arrived today and I made the repairs in 10 minutes or less. Thank you!
Thanks for the video man, currently running 35s on a factory sahara, no lift. Went on a logging road called rough rock road. Lived up to its name! Appreciate it
Good stuff to know. I’m taking my jeep in for an oil change after Florida trip from Texas. I talked to the dealership they mentioned replacing the entire fender. Glad to know it’s only clips
Awesome Michael! I am glad that my video was informative and will hopefully lead you to having a repair that lasts!! Thanks for checking out my video!!
Push as I might, I cannot get the rear flares back on. Just nothing to push against and no way to get a finger or tool into the gap to aid with pin alignment. Occasionally I manage to get a couple or three clips to snap in, but no way to get them all back in place.
Hey there Tom, thanks for checking out my video! So each of the clips can slide a bit inside the flare so ensuring alignment of each as you go to the body panel is key. If I recall correctly there are a few spots tougher than others because the form of the flare but they should pop in with the rigidity of the flare
TomKirkman - Same problem here. 2010 JKUnlimited - cannot get the fender clip back to the body. I took the flares off the liners, and can attach the flares by pushing against the clips. But after re-assembling the flare and liner, it will not clip back to the body. Any ideas would be very helpful.
@BarryGardenhire hey there Barry, one thing that might help you out if you have one is the red handled metal trim tool. It comes with many trim tool sets and I think I may have used this to help me align the clips. Since this tool has a U shaped at the end and is fairly narrow it allows for assisting the alignment of the clips where your hands or fingers cannot reach. I hope this helps!
Just the video, that I needed! I went through the Car Wash and apparently, one of my rear fender clips broke off, from my 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon. I ordered my fender clip kit from Amazon, so I feel confident enough, to do the repair myself (female)😘🤙🏽🛻 Aloha 🌺🍍and Mahalo for this detailed and up close video 🐶🙌🏼💯
Hey Jadef6784, thanks for checking out my video and I am glad that you found it helpful! I have not checked to see if the clips are the same across the JK wrangler, JL wrangler, and JT gladiator but I am aware the attachment methods are similar. I hope the repair goes smooth for you! 🤙🏼
Hey there! Thanks for checking out my video! Yes I have the link to the camera I purchased in the video description of that install. Here is the link th-cam.com/video/myvmSCJVR_Y/w-d-xo.html and yes I did have to program using the JScan app and a Bluetooth reader to enable the back up camera
Hey there srsurfin77, unfortunately I do not have a diagram or way to upload a photo and I no longer have the factory inner fender liner to show this. I found a detailed picture process that another Jeeper created. Check out the following link: wanderingtrail.com/Mechanical/FlareRemove/FlareRemove.html
Hey Burpinupbourbon, thanks for checking out my video! That is a good question and will likely depend on the brand of the inner fenders you purchased. I would look and see from the manufacturer’s website if they way the factory flares can be maintained or shoot them a call or email and ask!
Hey there srsurfin77, unfortunately I do not know of the tool used to replace the plastic rivets between the inner liner and the outer flare. I think I used a set of plyers and a nail or something to install them.
If you have the pry bar put the rivet in and use the pry bar to hold it against the fender. At the same time use some wire cutters to pull the tip out. Keep pulling until it breaks or tight then cut off excess
Hey there Alan, thanks for checking out my video! I am not positive if the design is any different for the clips, but they are very similar as I helped a friend put tube flares on her gladiator and they appeared very similar. The process and concept is very similar for replacing the clips on the gladiator tho. There are a few additional fasteners that must be removed on the gladiator.
So that is the factory rubicon rock slider. I found the passenger side listed on quadratec at the link below. I suggest looking on Facebook market place, eBay or other sources for used sliders since they are listed at $340 per side! You should be able to get a used pair below $200 if you can find it! www.quadratec.com/products/12112_0432.htm?gclid=CjwKCAjwyvaJBhBpEiwA8d38vEkJM-ediLZOb_PwVh1XozmkHAlJD01yffSCDUEwpQXO9QprZI2dUxoCjz8QAvD_BwE
Hey there Newton, thanks for checking out my video! The video description can be tricky to access sometimes I have found based on the platform you are viewing from. Glad you found it!
It could have been that the location of where the clip is held on the plastic flare was slightly damaged. I do recall them getting a bit damaged after being ripped off a couple times. Fortunately I do not run the factory flares any longer so it’s not an issue for me any longer!

Did you ever figure anything out?
great video! this should reduce some head scratching for some people.
Thank you Troy! Yeah I figure there’s someone out there looking for a inexpensive fix!

What is the Amazon link you referred to for the clip kit?
I saw your insthall on back up camera what kind did you get and did you have to program it threw your pcm I have the navigation in my radio

Would you have a photo or diagram where the six bolts are in the front wheel well panel. Thanks!

I got a question, I bought inner fender liners, but I still want to use my factory fenders. Is that possible
Hey Burpinupbourbon, thanks for checking out my video! That is a good question and will likely depend on the brand of the inner fenders you purchased. I would look and see from the manufacturer’s website if they way the factory flares can be maintained or shoot them a call or email and ask!
👍🏻👍🏻🤙🏻 good info.
Thank you bud!! 🤙🏼
I am having a tough time finding a rivet gun that will take these plastic rivets. Any help would be appreciated.

@@tedballard4832 Great idea, thanks!

I for some reason can't find the link to the amazon product! I need some help!
Found It!! thanks! This will save me from buying "flatties"!
Hey there Jed, thanks for checking out my video! Glad I am able to help you save some cash!
These work on jeep Rubicon truck ?

Never mind I found your link :D
Hey there Newton, thanks for checking out my video! The video description can be tricky to access sometimes I have found based on the platform you are viewing from. Glad you found it!
It didn’t look like it was well attached 😮
Hey there MrGodSinx, thanks for checking out my video! Do you mean it wasn’t well attached before or after?
After. the rear one by the door still looked like it was a little wobbly thinking maybe you might have to push it harder in for the clip to hold
It could have been that the location of where the clip is held on the plastic flare was slightly damaged. I do recall them getting a bit damaged after being ripped off a couple times. Fortunately I do not run the factory flares any longer so it’s not an issue for me any longer!
