    I could use some help. I'm prepping to install my fenders. I have the kit for the anti-squeak(S) and the foam liner. Ol-Chebbys tech guide doesn't show detailed installation. I have fit checked the anti-S and see its larger than the area to be covered. Also I'm not sure exactly how the ends are supposed to be retained. I plan to glue the anti-s to the inner fender before installing the outer fender. the anti-s is higher than the inner fender- do I fold it over so its under the fender? Or just trim it to the inner fender height? I also would like to know where the foam strip ends at the front of the inner fender. Any help or tips on installing the fenders and the anti-squeak is appreciated. IMG_1273[1].JPG IMG_1273[1].JPG IMG_1274[1].JPG

    UPDATE - after doing some additional reading of the factory assembly manual I see that the proper method is to just let the anti-squeak overlap the top of the inner fender so that's what I will do.

    Ok so far - the next issue is how far up the rear of the fender does the fender welt go. Anyone have a picture or good description on the installation. I wish Ol-Chebbys tech tip showed a better picture. As always any help is appreciated.
