Factory bra install

I searched everywhere and no luck


Does anyone have pictures of how the oem factory bra gets installed ?

I noticed on the bra there is two clips and need to snap by the fenders but the fenders just have bolts on them anything would be great thanks everyone

Not sure about OEM versions but I have an aftermarket bra. Haven't used it for years but IIRC the anchors at the wheel-well opening are padded hooks made of stiff but bendable metal strap. It doesn't actually bolt down anywhere.

When it goes connected to the fender underside, we have a regular screw, but on the bra not sure what it connects to

Reason you can't find much info..... it looks pretty damn bad (IMO) and in many cases can damage the paint underneath if dust and debris gets stuck underneath. Just say 'No'

Hey bud, I have one (only use it for road trips Goodfella!) and used it just the other day.

The two snaps, snap onto those bolts that go up into the fender. Just push the snap into them. Once those are in, it's just round pegs in round holes bud, common sense will get you through it.

No worries bud. It's possible that the prior owner needed to replace them for some reason but you should be able to snap them on without too much effort.

Ya that's the only thing I was thinking that they put different screws on there prior, that's why I can't get them to snap on

Ya no luck, I'm guessing they replaced the factory bolts on the fenders so I'll need to find different bolts I guess

Call your dealer. They may be able to get those still. They seem like a standard 10mm screw or bolt. If you want me to look into it on mine, let me know.
