fender rolling instructions ...so easy...drawings

gandolf the white · 08-27-2004, 09:31 AM

searched aw and compiled everyone's idea realized if theres a 100 ways to do this then it can't be that hard...so home i go last night go dig threw the garage find me a 2 and half foot piece of 2 inch black ABS pipe, heater/hairdryer, and get the floor jack (you can use the factory jack here as you are not lifting car off ground. Using no cloth as plastic doesn't do anything to paint. Raise my car so i can get pipe between fender...heat fender..lower car a bit...roll...lower...heat again...more roll...

THEN i found the secret: by making edge of pipe even with edge of fender lip you can roll the lip as flat as the rear...no fender liner trimming required it tucks up behind lip after it gets warm. (you can heat fender liner to mold even further away but i didn't find this necessary)

No pics but some quick drawings.

Believe me never did this before and it really was easy and looks perfect.

btw, you should edit the subject line of your post to "fender rolling instruction" something of that nature so for when people stfa, they can come up with your diagrams.
