XJ fender flare install help...
Hello, I am going to be getting a drivers side stock fender flare for my 1998 Sport and I was wondering how do I attach it to the hardware that is already on my fender? Also, the other 3 flares are kinda loose and some of them are pulling away from the fender. Is there some sort of glue or epoxy that I should use to seal them to the fender and make them look good? Thank you for any advise that you may have for me.

01 flare
Man my jeep has these brackets that bolt to the fender and the flare is suppose to snap in, but they don't, I was looking for suggestions as well has anyone found a solution for stock flares or a good after market set that doesn't require cutting the fender

This is not that tough. The flare has tabs that slide over the edges of the metal brackets. The metal brackets then tighten to the fender and hold the flare on by compression. If you are going to take them off or loosen the metal brackets you need to spray those nuts inside the fender for a couple days with pb blaster to help break them free.
