This may sound kinda dumb, I feel dumb for even asking. Bought a set of mopar fender flares yesterday and I really want to get them on the truck but weather is kind of an issue right now. Its in the 20's during the day and single digits at night. Here is my question, does anyone know if the cold weather will have any adverse reactions to the 3m tape on the inside of the flare? I'm worried about it not adhering properly.

The 3m tape will probably not adhere properly

Do you have a garage you could put your truck in for a little bit and then put them on?

It does stay in the garage but the only issue with that is I don't have an insulated door so its still pretty cold. Starting to think my best bet is to wait for it to warm up a bit. Really sucks cause I really wanted the flares and when I found out they came painted in my color I was all over them. Guess I'm gonna have to wait a few months :emotions122:
