    So the weather stripping is coming off of my fender flare. Any tips on putting it back in place with out removing the flare? Any help would be appreciated

    If it's torn, anything you do without taking off won't be a permanent fix. You might be able to lay down a small bead of silicone and push rubber into to hold.

    You should be able to crawl under the truck and squeeze a couple of those fender clips (orange or blue in color) till they pop out giving you enough to pull the flare out toward you and re-seat the rubber gasket.

    Then just push the fender liner back in till you hear the clips click back in.

    Man that's so easy a cave man can do it!!! That makes a lot more sense than pulling the whole thing off. I am glad I asked you guys

    It's been awhile since I took my flares off but if I remember correctly it's possible to do it that way. The wheel well liner might be in the way but I don't think so. There should be enough room to get in there.
