I'm hoping someone can help me out here...I was in a minor accident a week ago or so and the body shop gave the truck back to me so I could do my lift/tires. They also said to take anything off the truck that I wanted painted. So, I'm trying to remove my factory fender flares so they can repaint them as they all have some nicks on them. (Why not right?) My question is how are they supposed to come off?? I can see they use "poppers" but they also have poppers with screws in them. I can see this through the door (panel removed). I don't want to damage too many of these little clips (or bend anything) so it goes back like factory.


Please someone help me out!! Jay?? Gadge maybe? Someone has to know how they are removed!


Thanks to everyong in advance! ~ trying to get this done before morning!

I was just searching for exact same thing! Nobody knows how those 'poppers' with a screw through them come off?

Haha, I posted on your other thread on how to get them out..the secret is DRILL THEM OUT, however crappy that is!! When I reassembled I did use regular hardware so I could remove and repaint without replacing more stupid little popper things.

Btw know the part # for the reusable fastener?
