PIT66 Front Right Fender Flare,Compatible with 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Ford Escape Wheel Well Arch MoldingCJ5Z-16268-AB

As one of the people who is honest about needing to cover rust on the pickup bed, I can say that these are great for the task. The installation is a little confusing due to poor instructions, but it is not difficult by any means. You will want a second set of hands to help hold them in place while bolting them on. Also, the curved mounting pieces on the front end took a little bit to figure out how to install, but other than that, this went very smoothly. I broke one of the plastic mounting pins while installing it, but Lowes carries them, they're standard car panel mounts. If you are covering rust, check the condition of the edges of the wheel wells. If they are still intact, the clips install without much difficulty. I recommend these to anyone who wants to cover rust on the pickup bed, they look really great once installed.

The product is well built and the end result after mounting it looks extremely good.I see many reviews of people complaining about the fit, and the problem is with the hardware provided.1 - Back fasteners: The screws that come with the hardware are too short for mounting. I have used stainless steel 3/4" screws and these did the trick.2 - The Front mounting hardware provided consists of plastic clips. They will come off easily, as it did happen for me driving on a windy day on the highway. The solution - I mounted 1/4" u clips with Stainless steel machine screws. These hold strongly and well not fall off.Seller was responsive to the problem and provided additional rubber strip after the original one fell off one of the flares when getting lose on the highway.I did not drill into the car body with self tapping screws, as others suggested.Once you "hack" the hardware as suggested above, they are securely and tightly mounted, and offer a great look for the truck. Check the pictures and see for yourself.

Fairly easy install, however the included hardware is nowhere near long enough to use. I ended up using #14 self tappers that were 1½" long although 1" would have probably worked. Look is good (I chose to paint the screws black after) and definitely does a good job of covering rust and installs high enough that you can avoid the typical wheel well rust with ease. Definitely buy longer screws of whatever preference you have before starting as it's annoying to have the bottom bolts in and then have to run to the store. Didn't use the wheel well clips as there's too much rust, what do you expect from a 13 year old truck though.

These went on with ease. No alterations needed just a helping hand. My 16 year old pretty much installed on his own, just needed dad to hold them. They lined up great, seal line looked good. The texture was nice, no need to paint. He has 1.5 spacers on the wheels and this will help keep the rock and grit from flying up, and gives it a beefier look for this 2 wheel drive 2006 F150

Missing hardware. Do not fit properly

Right out of the box these looked super cheap. The edge that the weather stripping was attached to looked like a 4 year old cut it out with a knife. It was completely uneven and there was still flashing in a lot of places. The included weather stripping is a joke. It was really stiff, and there was no adhesive to keep it attached to the flare, so it kept coming off of the flare before it was installed. I ended up making it work but it was a huge pain.The holes for the front left flare didn't match up, so I had to drill new holes. The included plastic clips for the front metal brackets didn't work at all, so I ended up getting some 1/4-20 X 1/2" screws to use instead, which ended up being a pretty good way to attach them.I actually liked the installation hardware for the back flares. If you watched the youtube video by Andrew Does Life, you see that he uses sheet metal screws to attach the back flares. I don't like this because I didn't want to put any holes in my truck. The hardware it comes with is definitely cheap, but it just clips onto the lip around the back fenders, which made it easy to install, and it felt sturdier than the hardware for the front.I was ready to give these one star and return them because the front left flare was such a pain to install since the holes weren't aligned, but after I finally got it installed, the other 3 went on in about 45 minutes total. All of the holes had to be drilled out with a 1/4" drill, but it looks good and seems sturdy enough now that it is installed.

Easy install
