Tips & Tricks

Installing Kut Snake flares can be a bit tricky so we have come together with some of the installers around the country to put together a tips & tricks page to help anyone who is looking to install their Kut Snake flares themselves. Kut Snake do not take any responsibility for the fitment of flares we always recommend that you get your flares fitted by a “recommended fitter”.

1) Double check you have everything required for installing, there is nothing worse than getting part way through the job and finding you are missing a flare or some rubber trim
2) Remove any factory or other aftermarket flares, mudflaps and sidesteps - Kut Snake flares will NOT fit over existing flares
3)Rubber trim should be glued onto the flare the whole way around(read tip #4 first), wait for glue to set before you fit the flares
4)If you are having problems with the rubber trim folding under the flare when you push it up to the vehicle simply glue the rubber on backwards and problem solved
5)Clean the area you will be working with thoroughly so there are no contaminants under the flares prior to install
6)Hand fit the flares first to get an idea of where they are going to sit, if you apply some tape you should be able to tape the flare to your guard allowing you to line the flares up how you would like them to sit
7)Always tighten screws by hand, if an electric drill or other tightening device is used the flares will crack. Do NOT over tighten the screws as this will cause the flares to crack.
