Hey guys,
Does anyone know if the clips & hardware used to hold the fender flares on the 93-97 Rangers can still be bought new? Or has anyone come up with their own hardware for these?
I'm doing some body/paint work on mine so I took the flare off, and when it came off it left all of the clips and hardware in the bed rather than coming off with the flare. I'm afraid to try and remove the black plastic clips because I feel like they will break easy and I'm not sure how easy it would be to find replacements. And the yellow plastic retainers towards the bottom on each end, anyone know if new replacements exist or what to do if they break when trying to remove them? I'm assuming the only way I'm going to get the flare back on is by taking all of the hardware off and put it back on the flare before installing it, I can't see a way you could slip the flare around these clips/retainers with them on like in the picture.
Anyway... any advice would be appreciated!
