Fender flare protective strip???

I was wondering what some of you out there have used to protect the paint on the fender where the fender flare makes contact. I had Bushwacker flares on both my 91 and 95 bronco and I just dont remember what I used to protect the fenders.
Could anyone let me know what they are using???


Thanks
Frank

The Bushwacker flares i bought (and just sold) came with protective rubber strips. You could probably special order them or find something similar at Lowes/Home Depot.

i'm using those "protective" strips and they still dig into the paint. i think the only option is to not put them on so tight, but that means that you should be removing them once a year or so to clean the junk that gets in there.

You can get the gasketing material that goes on the Tacoma fender flares from the dealer...get (4) of the passenger rear fender strip as it is the longest and use it. It ain't cheap though.

The trim on my bushwacker flares scratched my paint also. Found some stuff I wanted to try but it is pretty expensive since the minimum order is 500 ft. Maybe someone could buy a roll and sell the extra to people on the forum?
