I have ram 2500 o.e.m fender flares on my 2016 1500 sport. The 3m tape is already lifting. Has anyone had the same issue. Any thoughts or ideas on a better application would be helpful thanks

Pick up a new roll of 3m double sided tape from Napa or PepBoys. Once you put the one side of the tape on the flare, use a heat gun or hair dryer to LIGHTLY warm the glue on the tape. Then when you mount them on your truck, make sure to apply pressure for 5 straight minutes on each flare. It might suck kneeling/sitting there for 5 minutes for each flare but if you heat them properly and push on them with force they will stay on for good.

Also make sure it is above 70° when you put them on, a nice sunny warm day. If it's cold out, the metal of the truck will be cold and the glue/tape won't want to stick aswell.
