FYI, there's much easier to remove these plastic rivets: just push the pin in with any small screwdriver. No need to drill, pull or other brut force methods. It's even possible to reuse them if you can get access to the back of the rivet. Pushing the pin works every time.
Thank you
I recently had to partially remove the fenders on my 2022 Jeep JL to install side marker turn signals where the cowl vents are. I found you can use a flat yellow plastic trim remover with the V on one end to do the job without breaking the white clips. They have two small barbs that hold the clip in place. Slide the V on the trim remover behind the clip, so the V contacts the barb. Then work it side to side while pushing on it, and it will force the barbs to close, and pop back out of the hole, thus allowing the fender to pull slightly away from the side of the jeep. Just repeat on all the white clips. This way is slower, but you won't break the clips. Use a mirror and a flashlight to see exactly where to put the tool with the V.
Someone told me about this video and I had to check it out. So those white fender clips are expensive and if you use needle nose pliers from the back, they pop off and don’t break // 2. Those fender rivets, you just push on the centre’s and they pop open.
How did you get to the back of them? You have to pull of the fender liner to get to them correct? I’m trying to pop them out to get to the passenger light wiring harness and it’s freakin impossible without pulling the fender off. Started to pull it off and immediately broke 3 clips..
Love the Nacho colour on the JL
please a video installing the new fenders and also how connect the signal lights when the new fender don't have the space to have it
Is there an install video of the new Rubicon fender flares?
I know I'm late but do you have a video on how to reinstall the same factory fender flares reuising the inner liner? Replacing the lights in the fender flares?
And always remember safety glasses folks.
How do you put the the fender back on ? I leaned on it while pumping gas and three clips popped off.
Can I fit this fender on my 2016 jk?
Hi want change my stock unlimited sport black jl 2020 fenders by sahara or rubicon painted black fenders what is the item number for painted sahara or rubicon fenders and what is the difference between sahara and rubicon fenders.
how much for the stock fenders?
Woot
Not quite sure I caught it in the video, but is it possible to remove just the outer (rear) fender without having to drill out the pins? I plan to replace a damaged rear driver side outer fender with an OEM one.
I would like to know this as well
Does this work for 2013 jks too
It is not necessary to remove all of the rivets. Some are dummy rivets and are for show only. They are not attached to the inner fender liner. I believe that only 4 out of the 8 are actually used as an attachment.
Does anyone happen to know the part numbers for those Christmas tree rivets and the rivets he drilled out?
There's an Amazon kit, I just bought it comes with all those clips
Now he don’t have blinker I wanna do the same thing but I need another form of a blinker
Rob can u see if it is at all possible to fit factory JK fenders on the JL
Just the out side fender not the inner
What’s the difference between the standard and the high line fenders on the JL? Are they wider? Steve
Yes, they give you more tire clearance and they are also wider as well
I'm not sure what's changed, but my front JLR fenders didn't have any 8 mm bolts and in fact, had an extra 5th 10 mm bolt. The back was identical though. Those clips are a pain and most of mine shattered while trying to remove. Inexpensive JK clips from Amazon can be used with a little modification though since the factory JL clips are crazy expensive.
What’s the little modification needed?
@@jav_eee you either have to enlarge the opening on the fender or shave down the clip.
Why can I not get the electrical connector to unplug? I pulled out the little red locking tab and it will not come unplugged no matter what I do. 😡
I'm more curious about the new flares ;)
Stay tuned!
Hi, I do not understand how to disconnect the light connection wire. I pulled the red clip forward but I still cannot get it to separate and come apart.
You have to depress the release tab once you slide the red locking clip. If it's really stuck, you can try spraying the connector with some WD-40 to help loosen and dirt that may be making it hard to pull apart.
How todo the back fenders this is missing information cause the screws doesn’t work properly!
Do you all sell the white fender clips shown at 6:30?
Of course we do! www.quadratec.com/products/55014_0906.htm?
where are the new flares! heh.
Do I have to remove my wheels to do this? Wanting to paint my fenders without having to tape everything off.
No, just remove the 4 bolts and the one push pin towards the front of the fender and pull it off. The liner will come with it so you don’t need to drill out the plastic rivets. Just be aware you will still need to discount the fender light once it is separated .
Those push-pin fasteners suck... almost all broke...
THIS IS BAD ADVICE, DO NOT DO THIS!
I broke half my clips, and half the clip slots on the flare. Also tore out the plastic spacer at the bottom rear of the front flare. Since mine are painted thats going to cost me $1100 to replace my fender. Wised I paid for the $3 rivets rater than following this procedure. I talked to the guy at the Jeep collision shop and he said the correct way to do this is to release the white clips. It means you need to remove some of the plastic rivets to take off the wheel well, but it's way easier, and you wont destroy your fender.
