Can I add them by just loosening all the fender bolts or is more required ? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | you could do, or any other way, but the factory didn't

Thanks Bill | | | | | Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 10 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 10 | I have just had my bed stripped and scene what happens when metal rubs up against each other without the felt, not so pretty!!! This seems like an easy proceedure that will save you a lot and add significant life to your truck. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | a flat fender flange isn't going to be "rubbing" against the flat bedside if the bolts are tight  and the welting is vinyl, felt would hold water, resulting in rot - which may be what you're seeing rather than "rubbing" Bill | | | | | Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 117 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 117 | but do it , it looks sharp and shows off your fenders, i get alot of Compliments??

Its sort of a "hard" rubber but yet very flexible and it looks really nice. Better than the regular stuff vendors supply. A new local bolter just picked me up 25 ft of it for $11.00. My body man had told me about it and had enough to do my rear fenders on my panel. It looks good and water will not damage it. I think it'll be looking good long after the vinyl type stuff has gone the way of the dodo bird.
Hope this helps. | | |
