Bushwacker extend a flares issues???
I have bushwacker extend a flares on my truck.....for about five months now. They are getting looser and looser by the day. im afraid they are going to fall off while driving down the road. The upper portion of them is just held against the truck by pressure....and now they are kind of wearing out i guess....so they kind of just sit there flapping in the wind in some spots....i dont know how to explain it well....those who have them and know how they mount on the truck might understand what im trying to say.....anyways anyone have some ideas what to do before they come flying off at interstate speeds!

I have the pocket flares and would assume they mount the same.
The front sometimes loosen on mine along the top. I just back off on all the screws in the fender wells, push up on the flare (like when you installed them originally) and re-tighten everything. I think the heat tends to make them flex some with age. You just kinda have to re-set them.
Never had a problem with the rear though, as they mount differently and seem to stay secure.

I had the same trouble when I put mine on. What I did was just take off those plastic fasteners and use a short bolt with a couple of washers a nut and a lock washer. Mine have been on for over 2 years now and no troublde since I did that. If you really dont want them to come off, you could use some locktight on the bolts if you choose to go that route.
