Body help needed

[CHawks_12]

I have been looking for the instruction for removing and installing body panels specifically the bottom trim that runs over the wheel wells and along the bottom of the doors. I have a couple loose ones that I want to see if it is just in need of tightening or nut plate (mounting hardware) replacement. Any leads would be appreciated.

there are some members on here who have done that. My understanding is that they are held in with plastic clips.

Unfortunately.....

I got to see the inside of the flare when my wife hit the side of the truck pulling into the garage. The flares are attached with screws at the wheel arch and double sided plastic body clips at the quarter panel.

The issue I ran into was that the "U" shaped clip standoffs on the back of the flare broke when she hit the house. It's all plastic back there so don't reef on it to pull it away from the body after you remove the screws.

Local body shop charged $125 to paint and install a new flair.

For the ones on the fenders/quarters youll have several 10mm in the wheel well with plastic clips above that. On the doors you'll have a couple of 10mm bolts on the ends with plastic clips as well cheap and easy to replace.
