It's not necessary to pull off the Rubber Seal that comes preinstalled on AIR DESIGN’S SUPER BOLT® FENDER FLARES in order to paint them. However if you feel more comfortable doing so, you can always get a REPLACEMENT RUBBER SEAL.
This Rubber Seal has been carefully designed and integrated into our Super Bolt®Fender Flares to guarantee a firm mechanical attachment of the flare to the sheet metal, making them the Most Solid Vibration-Free Fender Flares in the market. By doing so, you can rest assured these flares will never eat away at your Truck’s Paint.
Super Bolt®Fender Flares Rubber Seal also avoids leaks and pollutants getting inside the flare, preventing rust and paint wear.
Prevent Rust and Paint Wear. Rubber Seal along with Air Design Super Bolt® Fixation System completely eliminates damaging vibration and rattle that often eats away at your Paint. Forget about rust and those unwanted gaps! All stainless steel and rust-free hardware comes with this kit.
