[QUOTE="Svtmustang01, post: 14220109, member: 134669"] First things first. I am not responsible in any circumstances for any damages that happen to your car or you. After rolling my front fenders I came across the dilemma of the fender lining hanging down. It was bad enough I was to the point of just taking a hammer and unrolling them :cryying: . So i ran it this way for a while with it hanging and it ripped a hole in the liner like I for sure thought it would. I took the wheel off and figured out a great idea on how to hang the fender liner. The problem arises from the circumference of the fender liner ridge being changed. With it now longer than stock the fender isnt able to sit in its designed spot. The only way to make it sit properly again is to make it longer because it will not stretch that much. Now every fender rolling is different from non aggressive to very aggressive so there are no exact measurements but more of a guide on how to make your own. What you will need. 2x passenger fender liner 2x driver fender liner A drill Zip Ties (preferrably black) tab puller new tabs to install fender liner The very first thing you must do is remove the fender liner. You will have to jack up the car and place it on jack stands. Please do not work under a jack people have died doing so. Please have the car properly supported on stands cant stress this enough. Next thing to do is remove the wheel to give you some extra room. Below is a schematic of all the tabs that you must take off to remove the fender liner. After you have all the tabs removed pull the fender liner out. The way I did it was by pulling on the back where the fender liner tabbed up to the sideskirt and pulled it out of its ridge.
