DH Fender Flare (Pin + Adhesive) - Poor design? Any work arounds?

[Lidsoff]

Do you have the part number of the box that was supplied with your flares in it?

I'm going to order a net new set for install.

PR3Z16268AA

That took a stupid amount of time to find but I found it.
For some reason my BOM only has one listed. I think they come in a set.

Thanks! Yeah I did some digging too. Took about 10 mins and found the R and L sides (no kit yet).

@LevittownFordParts has a kit put together that includes PR3Z16268-A and PR3Z16268-B plus the pins however getting those up here to Canada might be a little pricy.

I'll see what Blackstock Ford can quote me and then compare.

If you’re having issues with the adhesive tape sticking, try 3M adhesion promoter 4298UV.

Did some reearch on this product. Very informative. This might be the ticket.

Assuming it works similar to whatever this guy was using.



Sadly, this video shows the install but has no detail other than "watch me for 18 seconds"

I would suggest shipping to a parcel pickup at the border, If you choose this we have a coupon code you can use.

You wouldn't happen to have the instructions for installing them would you? I'm going to try redoing my existing ones with new pins and double sided tape + adhesive promoter.

I looked on the service and could not find anything, The DH even has its own wheel liner procedure but its not covered in there

thanks Benny. I searched for an hour last night to try and find it as I’m going to try and rescue them myself prior to spending $1500+ to replace.

Just got back from a 350km round trip overnighter with the car.

That damn first pin, left side, near the bottom of the chin splitter, popped out AGAIN!!!

I have a feeling I'm going to need to order about 50 of these pins until I get the time to strip the flares off, clean them and the fender metal, then add adhesive and 3M adhesive promoter.

Now that the supercharger is installed the front bumper doesn't need to come off anymore. I'm debating on getting double sided tape and some sort of adhesive.

Is your dealer going to try something new this time around?

My ford dealer finally tossed the plastic pins and used metal screws. Works great so far.

idk man they might have butchered your car i hope its not wood screws
the reason they are plastic is because the bumper is plastic so metal rubbing on plastic is going to rub through but its going to take awhile

They aren't wood screws, lol. They are one of Ford's high performance dealerships so Im hoping they know what they're doing.
